Never understood the appeal of Jay Mohr.
Jay was actually a really funny stand-up comedian for a number of years. I saw him multiple times at the Irvine Improv and the Brea Improv and he was outrageously funny. But it started to change after he married Nikki Cox, for whatever reason. It was as if his comedy became neutered or something. His most recent Showtime special was horrible. I barely laughed during the entire hour. Maybe that's because he talked about family stuff and his son and it was more observational comedy. Jay was at his best when he was just this outrageous dude telling tall tales about his experiences.

Best Christopher Walken, Tracy Morgan, Colin Quinn, and Norm Macdonald impersonator in the business, and it's not close.
Kevin Spacey is the only Pacino impersonation better.
His Joe Pesci is tied with Jim Breuer.
The only comic I've seen do a Harvey Keitel impersonation and it's uncanny how dead on it is.
His downfall wasn't Nikki Cox (although she didn't help), it was getting caught ripping off another comic.
Yes, his Walken is definitely the best I've ever heard. As far as his last special is concerned, I think his wife (Cox) wrote or co-wrote it, which might explain things. It was absolutely nothing like what any of the shows I saw at the Improv were like, where he was just this high-energy guy telling hilarious stories and doing great impersonations.
EDIT: Kevin Pollak does a damn good Walken, actually.

If anyone does a better Walken than Mohr it is without a doubt Pollak.
Oversight by my part. They're neck and neck.
KPCS (Kevin Pollak Chat Show) Podcast with Jay Mohr was HIGHLY entertaining if you haven't had a chance to check it out.

Anyway, just my .02 on Mr. Mohr.
He was quite open about the fact that Nikki started writing most of his standup act the last several years. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

That's a very questionable man choice considering what she could get.
Would one want to correlate this to her Lakers Management decision skills?

She ain't like that anymore. 10 too many surgeries.

Mohr did have a funny bit similar to that video posted, where he points out that all black comedian's "white guy" voice, essentially sounds like Tony Gwyn, a black guy.

They're not dating. Is everyone on crack? Mohr is married with kids.
Also Mohr can be really funny.
He's got the kids, but not the wife. They split up several months ago.
I don't know what the Jeanie/Jay status is now, but he was on the Kevin and Bean show a few months ago and they asked him about it and it was clear that while he didn't want to go into it, there was something going on. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know
