In 1973, Robert Klein released his first album, "Child of the Fifties," and ingenious collection of material which brought Klein to a vast audience and won him a Grammy Award nomination for Best Comedy Album of the Year. Two more albums followed, including "Mind Over Matter," also nominated for a Grammy, and "New Teeth" Klein's most recent album, "Let's Not Make Love" was released in 1990 on Rhino Records.
Probably no single event is more indicative of Klein's success than his first sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall in 1973, "The First Annual Robert Klein Reunion." For nearly two hours, Klein knocked out his audience with his high-energy comedy and comment. The critics raved, and Klein affirmed his place as a major personality in contemporary entertainment and as an influence on a whole generation of comedians.
In 1979, Klein returned to Broadway in grand style with a Tony nomination for Best Actor, and a Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for his performance in the hit musical, "They're Playing Our Song.”
To say that Klein's show business career has been varied would be an understatement. He has been a regular guest on "The Tonight Show" for over twenty years, and has guest-hosted the show on numerous occasions. He also appears regularly on “Late Show with David Letterman" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." Klein also hosted "Saturday Night Live" twice, and starred in the first infamous
"Cheeseburger" sketch with John Belushi and Dan Akroyd.
Klein's movie roles include "Hooper," starring Burt Reynolds, "'The Owl and the Pussycat," with Barbra Streisand, "Radioland Murders," "Mixed Nuts," "One Fine Day,' "Next Stop Wonderland," "Primary Colors," "Goosed," and the upcoming, 'Safety of Objects," and "People I Know," with Al Pacino.
In 1975, Klein was the first comedian to appear in a live concert on the precedent setting HBO "On Location" series, and has done seven one-man shows since for HBO. His 1982 show, "Robert Klein at Yale," has been added to the permanent collection of The Museum of Broadcasting. Klein is currently writing a book for Simon and Shuster.
