Bobcat Goldthwait on Juggalos, the Olympics, and God Bless America

For someone who started out as That Dude with the Crazy Voice, Bobcat Goldthwait has had a long, successful career. He did stand-up in the early ’80s, appeared in character on Letterman and in ’80s classics like Scrooged and three of the Police Academy movies. As he grew out of his character, he turned to a mellower variety of stand-up, and tried his hand directing television and his own films. Last year’s God Bless America, a Natural Born Killers-meets-reality-TV gore comedy is among his most well-received and successful ventures. We caught up with Goldthwait over the phone earlier this week as he prepared to swing through town. He’s at Stanford and Sons Comedy Club at the Legends both tonight (Friday) and Saturday night.
