Famous quotes by Nipsey Russell:

"Laugh-In."

"Car 54, Where are You?"

"is very simple to do. I start with the joke line and write backward."

"is very simple to do.... I start with the joke line and write backward."

"He came out immaculately attired in a well-dressed street suit and he tap-danced, ... As he danced, he told little jokes in between. He was so clean in his language and was lacking in any drawl, he just inspired me. I wanted to do that."

"He was always reading, always studying and was very, very quiet. He had a photographic memory."

"I start with the joke line and write backward."
