Steven Wright is a writer, actor, and comedian.  Wright got his first big break appearing on Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show in 1982.  He also won an Oscar in 1989 for his short film, The Appointments of Dennis Jennings, which he co-wrote and starred in.  Five of Wright's jokes were also included in GQ Magazine's 1999 Comedy Issue ranking the 75 funniest jokes of all time.

Wright is known for his distinctly lethargic voice and slow, deadpan delivery of ironic, philosophical and sometimes nonsensical jokes and one-liners with contrived situations.  Some of Wright's more memorable quotes include:

"I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering."

"If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?"

"Two babies were born on the same day in the same hospital.  They lay there and looked at each other.  Their families came and took them away.  Eighty years later, by a bizarre coincidence, they lay in the same hospital, on their deathbeds, next to each other.  One of them looked at the other and said, 'So, what did you think?'"
