Watch on Soap2day. In his first HBO Comedy Hour appearance filmed in 1992, Richard Jeni: Platypus Man won the prestigious Cable Ace Award for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special. Later, Jeni starred in the short-lived UPN sitcom "Platypus Man" and composed the theme song ("I'm A Platypus Man") for the TV series. A non-stop joyride and one of the funniest comedy shows ever recorded, Jeni's style will leave you breathless.
