I love comedy.  I really admire the talent of great stand-up comics. I think what they do is incredible. On the radio, I do what I do in a closed-door studio. I never see the audienceStand-up comedians have to make people laugh while they are looking at them right in the eye. It's do or die. It takes guts, and great comedic chops.

So, I thought I'd share some great stand-up comedy with you every Monday. Why? Because it's Monday!! Everyone could use a good laugh on Monday. So, here we go with installment number one.

Well, here we are in the middle of summer. As long-time Las Vegas residents, we expect to bake in the desert heat and make the best of it every year at this time. Is summer heat funny? Not really. But comedian Jim Gaffigan's take on the high temperatures in our home city and how we Las Vegans deal with it is pretty darn funny. He also turns the tables in this comedy routine to crack some jokes about how people in Northern U.S. cities sell their summer weather.
