Wow. What line struck me was the one: “Letterman is not a fairy godfather,” frankly: I was NEVER impressed with Letterman, and I still am not…

I was a singer when I was in high school, and wanted to attain my scholarship of traveling the world with the YOUNG AMERICANS. But I graduated at 16, and my mother would not let me.

If I were in Steve Mazan’s shoes, I’d BEG FOR LENO! I LOVER Jay Leno, and HE would be the show I would want to be on. The attitude of Letterman, and many other historical bumps in his road, tells me he’s not the greatest guy…why do people like him? Beats me. But now, Jay LENO? HE’S the MAN!

Very few people can I say I could get along with at first meeting. Steve is one of those few.
Serving a few years with him while on the submarine service I can say that I never heard him complain or show any attitude of any kind after countless hours of work and drills and little to no sleep. He has always been a pleasure to be around. Always a stress free environment around Steve.

Speaking for his fellow submariners I’d like to say that Steve has made us all very Proud. If anyone deserved it Steve you are him. You have shown us that if we want something bad enough that all we have to do is never say never, never give up and reach out and take it. Steve is truly an inspiration for us all.

Good job mate. Looking forward to seeing more of your work in the times to come.

I commend Steve Mazan for following his dreams, in the face of overwhelming obstacles and Steve? Your life may be made shorter by cancer, but it was also definitely enriched. You had the foresight and the courage to see that, hats off to you buddy! Keep laughing and making others laugh and God Bless! Thanks for your talent, your gift. Rose Haddix.

Steve!

I have to tell you I am so inspired by you.. you are absolutely hilarious. Like, tears rolling down my face hilarious! Seriously.

I have to say, until I opened AOL today, I hadn’t heard your name before nor had I heard how funny you are.

Your wife… she’s amazing.

Your work in Iraq….. WOW! The faces of the soldier’s said it all. What a difference you made in their lives that day. It doesn’t escape me that you guys have something in common.

I’d love to find a DVD of yours. If there’s one out there, I will do so. I’m going to read further and try to find your work. If you get the chance, would you please let me know what’s out there and where I can find it?

Your bit about Rome cracked me up! So true, so obvious and I’ve never thought about it that way. That’s what I love about you… the winding roads, the truck in the tree. HILARIOUS!

Just sent a prayer up for you. I believe that your positive outlook has more to do with your health than any CAT scan, MRI or knowledge the doctors give you.

Thanks for making me laugh out loud. Belly laughs. Gotta love them!

God bless you, Steve.
Patty

Thanks to great comedian Tommy Johnagin for telling Punchline Magazine about me reaching my dream…and the magazine and John Delery for the great story.

One small correction—I was driving home with best friend and comic Gary Cannon when I got sick–not Orny Adams. I’ve never been in a car with Orny. ha ha

Thanks for all the nice comments

Steve
