Andrew Dice Clay

Profane Brooklyn-born comic Andrew Dice Clay is as raunchy today as he was when he was banned from MTV in 1989 and played sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in 1991. The Diceman has been steadily clawing his way back into the limelight and reviving his comedy career, starting with the 2007 VH1 reality series Dice: Undisputed, and more successfully, impromptu riffing of new material onstage at last year’s Pollstar Awards. Most recently, he suffered the ignominy of being the first one fired on this season’s Celebrity Apprentice—which does, of course, give him more time to do stand-up. Sure, his dirty nursery rhymes, cartoonish chain-smoking character, and studded leather jackets are dated, but sheer spectacle never grows old.
