NEW YORK (AP) —
E verybody knows all you need
for a hit sitcom is a stand-up
comic with a ready-made persona.
Network execs know it, and
they dream of launching the next
“Seinfeld" or "Drew Carey."
Producers know it, and they
dream of signing the next Seinfeld
or Drew Carey.
Stand-up comics know it, and
they dream of being the next Sein
feld or Drew Carey.
Viewers may suspect it's not
quite that simple. But what do
they know?
So the long and winding road to
TV stardom takes a looping detour
through Montreal each summer,
where Just for Laughs, billed as the
largest comedy festival in the
world, is open for funny business.
Phoning from the festival, which
ended Sunday, Don Rickies de
scribed the drill: "You take young,
struggling comedians and put 'em
in a showcase, and agents and tele
vision people come and see them,
and all of a sudden they've got a hit
series and they go from $5 to 20
million. And then I run alongside
their car trying to get their picture."
Again, it's not quite that simple
— though who would dare argue
with Rickies? And, granted. Just for
Laughs did play a key role in ful
filling the sitcom destinies of Tim
Allen, Brett Butler and that chap
Jerry Seinfeld.
Someone scoring with a stand-
up act may go on to lay goose eggs
in the series it inspires.
Consider Just for Laughs alums
like Lenny Clarke, whose "Lenny"
lasted just a few months during the
1990-91 season, and John Mendoza,
who flopped with "The Second
Half" in 1993-94.
And of course there's Rickies, one
of the most enduring headliners as a
someone else tries to write it, it
comes out overkill."
Bobby Slayton, a stand-up who
portrays veteran comic Joey Bish
op in HBO's upcoming Rat Pack
film, views sitcom-lust with a
jaundiced eye.
"I could give a (rodent's hind-
section) about having a television
show," he erupted with mock con
tempt. "Why? Because television's
just so horrible and so awful. Peo
ple say, 'What about "Seinfeld"?'
Yeah, and I'd like to win a billion
dollars in the lottery also."
tt
I want to be the
next ‘Ellen.’
I’m sexually attracted to
women. I figure they
can build a whole series

stand-up, who over the years has
bombed in at least three sitcoms.
"It's always been hard to find
writers for me in a sitcom," he ac
knowledged. "What I do, when I
do it, it comes out funny. When
Slayton halted this rant to catch
his breath. "I say that now to you,
because I know you can't help me,"
he leveled slyly. "If there's some
executive who says 'We want to
write a show about you,' I'd say,
'Sure.'"
Ray Romano may squirm a little
when congratulated for making it
in TV: "Why are you trying to jinx
me?"
With "Everybody Loves Ray
mond" heading into its third sea
son, he agreed that Just for Laughs
led to his successful CBS sitcom.
"It put me out there for people
to see."
Even so, when Romano started
in the early 1980s, TV wasn't a co
median's focus.

(AP) — More and more, tourists posing for pic
tures aren't standing in front of the arch in St. Louis
or San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.
Instead, they're savoring a Kodak moment in
front of a Ralph Lauren store.
Increasingly, the can't-miss-it event on a vaca
tioner's itinerary is a shopping expedition that goes
beyond the souvenir T-shirt and into the realm of
Tommy Hilfiger jackets. Coach bags and even
Villeroy & Boch fine china.
Take Bernie and Helen Shoemaker, who
planned a bus trip from Ohio to Minnesota with a
group of farmers.
The two destinations at the top of their list: A
look at the John Deere farm-equipment factory and
a spree at the Mall of America.
