Notability

Bob Nelson had a VERY well-known comedy routine ("Football Is My Life") in the mid-Eighties and deserves a Wikipedia entry for that alone. As the article notes, he opened for Rodney Dangerfield and was featured on high-profile HBO comedy specials. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.79.48.83 (talk) 00:59, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are two comedians named Bob Nelson

I followed the castmember link from the article on the Seattle sketch comedy show Almost Live to this page on comedian Bob Nelson, but this does not appear to be the same Bob Nelson who was in that show. Although a comedian of the same age, their photos are not the same and the details of their lives and careers, from a 2006 Variety interview with the Almost Live Bob Nelson, are quite different (Almost Live Bob Nelson was born in South Dakota, had a different career path, and is now a screen writer). Not surprisingly, the archives of Variety link their interview to the bio page of the wrong Bob Nelson, just as Wiki does.

The home page bio of the Bob Nelson in this Wiki article does not mention spending 10 years in the cast of Almost Live. These are definitely different Bob Nelsons.

Here is the Variety interview with the other Bob Nelson:

The screenwriter/comedian Bob Nelson (from the Almost Live show) needs a separate page and the link fixed to the Almost Live article. Can someone with stronger Wiki skills than me help out with this? Georgiacmt (talk) 18:52, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you could locate a link to a photo of this "other" Bob Nelson, that could be helpful. And have you checked IMDB? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:22, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
