Anderson began his career at a comedy club in his native Minneapolis, when on a dare from friends, he got up on stage and performed.His big break came in 1984 when he appeared on “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” who was so impressed with the comic he called him out for a rare and coveted “second bow.”
