His wry, sarcastic wit has evolved into a wry, sarcastic but generous, wise, and knowing soul.

Writing musicals with Edie Brickell Simon, playing wacky but hot music with the Steep Canyon Rangers.

His recent stuff with Martin Short is as funny as anything he's ever done.

Perhaps America's most complete entertainer.
