The man whose comedy

No stranger to television,
some of Mr. Klein's credits in-
clude NBC's "Bloopers and
Practical Jokes," which sent
him onto the streets of New
York each week to explore the
country's most exciting city.
He also has had frequent
guest spots on such series as
"The New Twilight Zone,"
"Murder She Wrote" and
"Midnight Caller." His 1988
episode of "Family Ties" was
nominated for an Emmy
Award.
Mr. Klein is presently at
work on his sixth HBO
special, a new cable show titl-
ed "Dead Comics Society,"
and a whole host of other
projects.
Still, after 25 years in show
business, Mr. Klein remains
somewhat of an enigma. At
the top of the comedic heap
one moment, his career has
seemed to stagnate at times,
partially, perhaps, because of
his decision to remain on the
East Coast. These days, due
to a bitter divorce from opera
singer Brenda Boozer and a
desire to stay close to his
young son from that union,
Mr. Klein remains committed
to his Westchester, N.Y., digs.
"Still," he says, "I have a lot
of pride in having done as
well as I did from the East
Coast. That's not an easy
thing to do. It definitely has
cramped my style in the
movies and the television in-
dustry, which is now quite
dead in New York. But I've
recently done a pilot for Nor-
man Lear titled 'Balls,' co-
starring Raquel Welch. If the
show goes, it will be done in
California. And while I'd
prefer to stay on the East
Coast, I will go there to do it.
"Today, I feel a resurgence
since my divorce. My life has
changed a lot, basically for
the better. I realize I should
be doing more, and I'm ready.
I'm glad people didn't forget
me,. and I'm hungry again,
emotionally and financially.
I'm more intereted in a varie-
ty of projects and ready to
work." ❑
