Early life
[edit]Clay was born to parents Jacqueline and Fred Silverstein[3]in theSheepshead Bayneighborhood ofBrooklyninNew York City,where he was raised.[4][5][6]He isJewish.[7]He has one sister.[8]Clay's father was a boxer and real estate agent.[9][10][11]
At age five, Clay was entertaining his family withimpressions,and by seven he was playing drums, inspired by the sounds ofbig band music.[12][13]Clay attendedJames Madison High Schoolin Brooklyn and as a teenager worked as a drummer on theCatskill Mountainscircuit in the 1970s, playingbar mitzvahsand weddings under the name Clay Silvers.[13][14][15]Upon returning to New York City, he failed to form a big band of his own. He pursued higher education but dropped out to become a full-time comedian.[13][15]Clay citesElvis Presley,Fonzie,John Travolta,andSylvester Stalloneas his heroes.[14]
Career
[edit]1970s
[edit]Clay began his stand-up career in 1978 when he auditioned at Pips comedy club in Sheepshead Bay, which turned into a headline spot at the venue the following week, billed as Andrew Clay.[14]He started with an act mainly of impressions, which included a character named "The Diceman", based onJerry LewisasBuddy LovefromThe Nutty Professor,which transformed intoJohn TravoltainGrease.[15]It took him three weeks to prepare the act.[13]A picture of him on stage during his early sets at Pips was described: "[Clay] In a baggy whiteshirt,pantsrolled up to his knees and a pair of thickglasses",with a black leather jacket underneath the shirt so he could seamlessly switch to his Travolta character when the lights went out.[14]With his new act, Clay graduated to larger and more prestigious comedy venues, includingThe Improv,Catch a Rising Star,andDangerfield's.[15]He recalled his father being supportive of his act during one performance at Dangerfield's. "He knew it was different right off the bat [...] He saw it worked". The persona was more of a shock to his mother, but she got used to it and he recalled her laughing at his jokes.[14]
1980s
[edit]By 1980, Clay had relocated to Los Angeles and landed work at theComedy Store,owned byMitzi Shore.[14][15]His sets were not an instant hit, and because of his dirty act and her unwillingness to have other comics follow him, Shore had Clay perform at late hours, resorting for him "to wait and perform for ten drunks".[14]In 1982, Clay landed his first film role, appearing inWacko.[15]In 1983, Clay added the "Diceman" moniker to his name and no longer relied on impressions of other notable figures, instead creating an alter ego based on his heroes.[14][15]He first used the act at the Comedy Store after he was asked to fill in for a comic who cancelled their spot. He said: "I didn't have my Jerry Lewis stuff with me, so I just winged it, saying whatever popped in my head".[16]
His performances at the venue led to his first sitcom roles, with appearances onM*A*S*HandDiff'rent Strokes,and feature-length films, includingMaking the Grade(1984),Pretty in Pink(1986), andCasual Sex?(1988). A review byLos Angeles Timescritic Michael Wilmington described Clay's character as "a macho bozo fromJersey".[14][15]From 1986 to 1988, he had a regular role as Max Goldman onCrime Story.[17]His act included a drum solo as a tribute toBuddy Rich.[13]Clay then pursued stand-up comedy full-time as the Dice character.
Clay's breakthrough came in 1988 when he performed at an all-male Big Brother Association dinner event with "all of Hollywood's royalty [...] dressed in tuxedos, and I show up in a black leather jacket with a flag on the back that said 'Rock and Roll'". The set was a hit; the next day,20th Century Foxoffered him a film deal and entered talks with producerJoel Silver.[14][15]Also in 1988, Clay performed a seven-minute set at Dangerfield's in New York City forRodney Dangerfield's HBO stand-up showcase specialNothing Goes Right,launching him into the national spotlight.[15]
In January 1989, Clay's HBO special,The Diceman Cometh,appeared on HBO and subsequently became a top video rental, according toEntertainment Weekly.In March, he released his debut comedy album,Dice,which went on to reach gold certification by theRIAAfor selling over 500,000 copies in the US.[18][19]It peaked at No. 89 on the USBillboard200.[20]Clay was named Comedy Act of the Year by readers ofPerformancemagazine.[15]
In September 1989, Clay performed a three-minute set at the1989 MTV Video Music Awards,which includedOtto Petersen's adult versions of the Mother Goose nursery rhymes. The incident led toMTVimposing a lifetime ban on Clay from appearing on the network.[21]The ban was lifted in 2011.
In December 1989, Clay performed two unadvertised, largely improvised sets at Dangerfield's, which were recorded for his second comedy album,The Day the Laughter Died,produced byRick Rubin.Released in March 1990 onGeffen Records,the album sold 250,000 copies in seven weeks,[14][22]peaking at No. 39 on theBillboard200.[20]
1990s
[edit]In February 1990, Clay became the first comedian to sell out two consecutive nights atMadison Square Gardenin New York City,[15]totalling 38,000 people in attendance.[23]Clay appeared on theSaturday Night Liveepisode of May 12, 1990, the fourth-highest-rated episode of the season. During the opening monologue, security guards removed protesters from the studio. Cast memberNora Dunnrefused to appear in the episode due to thesexistandhomophobiccontent in Clay's stand-up act. Despite NBC's use of a 5-second tape delay to enable them to cut offensive content from the live broadcast, one such remark escaped removal.[14][24]Two days later, musical guestSinéad O'Connorcancelled her scheduled appearance in protest.[25][26]
Clay first met his agent, Dennis Arfa, at Dangerfield's, which led to his first HBO special, and ultimately his starring role in the 1990 filmThe Adventures of Ford Fairlane;[27]in 1991, he received theGolden Raspberry Award for Worst Actorfor his performance in the film.
In 1991, Clay ran his own production company, Fleebin Dabble Productions.[18]He is featured on the front cover of the April 1991 issue ofPenthouse,becoming the second male to front the magazine, afterGeorge Burns.[28]Footage of Clay's shows at Madison Square Garden was used to produce his 1991 stand-up concert filmDice Rules.His controversial act affected the number of venues that were willing to screen the film; it opened in 40 theatres nationwide on its opening day.[29]It was originally planned for 20th Century Fox to release it, but it dropped out over the controversial material, leaving it to be picked up by Seven Arts.[30]This was followed by the release ofOne Night with Dice,which was filmed in 1986.[31]A sell-out show at Symphony Hall in Salt Lake City in August 1991 was met with angry protesters outside the venue over his perceived-to-be homophobic and hateful material, during which police were called.[32]
In 1993, ABC dropped a proposed one-hour television drama that was to feature Clay after management deemed him too controversial for the network. Clay had signed a one-year deal with ABC that kept him from working with other networks.[30]In July 1993, Clay releasedNo Apologies,the first stand-up concert pay-per-view special.[33]It was purchased by over 250,000 homes to become the highest grossing non-sports pay-per-view event of the year.[21]It was to featureJoey Buttafuoco,but the plan was dropped following the publicity it attracted and upon the advice of his attorney.[30]Clay followed it with a second pay television special,The Valentine's Day Massacre,which aired in around 100,000 homes.[21]In 1994, Clay accepted more television roles.[21]
In 1995, he signed a development deal withCBSand producerBruce Helford,resulting in his starring role on the sitcomBless This House.[34]In mid-1995, Clay explained that the Diceman character had "sort of gone out of hand", which he felt happy about because it allowed him to pursue more television and film work than before. The situation led to a change in his stand-up act, focusing more on being a husband and a father, yet still with an "edge".[34]
