During his May 9, 1994 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he poured lighter fluid on his chair and set it on fire. Was the subject (sort of) of the independent film Calling Bobcat. In a key part of the film, the two main characters theorize about the sobering effect that drinking olive oil before drinking alcohol can have on the human body. This is a reference to lines spoken by Bobcat Golthwait's character in the film Burglar. After the stunt fails, the two characters spend much of the movie trying to track down the comedian.
