I can remember being a small child wanting to run home to watch the show that came on every friday just so I could her the theme song… I have to say that I was quit impressed with his show, he is really good at what he does. He told me that he is now working on a new talk show that will be coming out this fall, and a movie that was top secret. He is a man that showed me that you can over come anything. Do you remember in 2006 an aerosol can that had fallen behind Curry’s water heater exploded and Curry, who was doing laundry at the time, was burned on over 18% of his body, including his arm, back and side. He spent many months recuperating at his home. According to an associated press interview posted on CNN.com, Curry considered suicide after waking from a three-day, medically induced coma, reportedly hoarding pain medication. After talking with comedian friends who made him laugh, such as Sinbad and Bill Cosby, he decided against suicide. He went on “The Montel Williams Show” to discuss this issue. I am glad to see that he is able to do what he loves and he still does it well…
