Besøkt 24. november 2020. «Every comedian talks about what appearing on Johnny Carson did for their career. Was there a literally next-day kind of difference in your career? Yep. I got hired the next day at The Comedy Store at The Dunes Hotel in Vegas. The next day NBC called about a holding contract with the network. The offers just kept coming in. But soon I was the opening act for The Commodores in Vegas. There's no platform like 'The Tonight Show' that can do that today.»

The room underwent months of remodeling that transformed it from a dark cocktail lounge to the Valley counterpart of owner Mitzi Shore’s Sunset Strip club....Tension between the club owners stems from a 1979 strike of Los Angeles comedians against the Comedy Store’s “no-pay policy.” Until that time, neither Shore nor Friedman paid comedians a salary. The theory was that comedians should almost be paying the owners for the exposure the clubs provided. When the comedians’ strike began, the Improv was closed for fire-damage repairs. Therefore, the strike focused on Shore, not Friedman.»
