Steven Wright (born December 6, 1955) is an American actor, writer and stand-up comedian from New York, New York. He is known for his slow, deadpan, monotone delivery of ironic, witty and sometimes confusing jokes and one liners.
Wright released a comedy album in 1985 entitled
I Have a Pony. In 1992, Wright had a recurring role on the television sitcom Mad About You.
He later won an Academy Award for his short film, The Appointments of Dennis Jennings
. He has also appeared as the voice of the radio DJ in the film Resevoir Dogs.
There are numerous lists of jokes attributed to Wright circulating on the internet, sometimes of dubious provenance. Wright has stated that "someone showed me a site, and half of it that said I wrote it, I didn't write. Recently, I saw one, and I didn't write any of it. What's disturbing is that with a few of these jokes, I wish I had thought of them. A giant amount of them, I'm embarrassed that people think I thought of them, because some are really bad."
