Best Television Shows

Did you know that Steve Buscemi once wanted to be a stand-up comic? It didn’t work out, so he had to fall back on the whole acting thing. But why didn’t it work out? Well, according to Steve, it’s all Paul Reiser’s fault.

Buscemi tells his sad tale on ‘The Tonight Show With Jay Leno’ (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC). Back in the ’80s, Steve was trying to “make it” as a comic, and would show up at the Improv Comedy Club in New York City — along with other young comedians like Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David. These guys were picked to perform, but Steve never was … because the club manager didn’t like his act.
