Robert Michael Slayton (born May 25, 1955) is an American actor and stand-up comedian. Slayton is probably best known for a supporting role in the 2001 film Bandits, and as a frequent guest on The Adam Carolla Show (2006–2009).
Career
Slayton is known for his intense style of stand-up comedy.[1] He adopts a mixed style of complaining, insulting, personal story-telling, not entirely unlike Sam Kinison.[2]
Slayton was raised in a Jewish home and often jokes about his own Jewish ethnicity. He lives in Los Angeles and has one daughter, singer Natasha Slayton, from the girl group G.R.L.[4]
In 1988, Slayton married Teddie Lee Tillett. Tillett died in March 2016. In June 2017, Slayton and his daughter sued the Sherman Oaks Hospital for wrongful death, claiming the doctors did not properly diagnose her pneumonia. In November 2017, the two sides settled.[5]
