Highly-acclaimed comedian Steven Wright got his start as a regular performer at Ding Ho's Comedy Club and Chinese Restaurant in Cambridge, Mass. He was then invited to appear on "The Tonight Show" alongside host Johnny Carson for his first televised appearance. Wright was invited to return the following week for a rare back-to-back performance. His unique style of comedy and lackluster voice caught the world's attention, and he later appeared on "Saturday Night Live" and "Late Night with David Letterman." He also made numerous appearances back on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson."

Wright was honored as the first inductee into The Boston Comedy Hall of Fame on December 15, 2008. The ceremony included performances by legendary Boston comedians Tony V, Don Gavin, Lenny Clarke, Kenny Rogerson, Steve Sweeney, Mike Donovan, Barry Crimmins, Mike McDonald and Fran Solomita.

The award-winning comedian is a regular guest with Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers, and he continues touring the U.S., Canada and overseas performing his celebrated comedy routines.
