David Leisure. A few highlights from his earlier career:

Per Wiki... born in the year 1950, and after college;

Leisure moved to Los Angeles after graduating. His first acting job was a minor role in Airplane! (1980) as a Hare Krishna. He had been roommates with the star, Robert Hays, in college, but attributed his casting to his willingness to shave his head. He was not cast in any more roles for the next several years; this, combined with his first divorce in 1983, led to a brief period of homelessness during which he lived in a Volkswagen van.

Kinda wonder if Jon Lovitz "yeah, that's the ticket" guy was inspired by Joe Izuzu, or vice versa.

Lovitz's pathological liar character was great.*

Yeah, that's the ticket.

My wife, um uh, Morgan Fairchild.

I just said it yesterday or perhaps Sunday. True story.

I like dropping the Morgan Fairchild one. Young people don't get it.*

The sketch that pretty much gave birth to the Christopher Guest movies.

Yep. "No, you're not angry! You're just pointing."

Martin Short is highly underrated as a comedian.

I feel like he's the Scotty Pippen to Steve Martin's Jordan.

People realize he was/is good, but don't see how great because of Goat overshadowing him.

Short is so good in Only Murders In The Building.

I agree. Virtually anything he does is hilarious.
