Anthony Anderson Tells Story of First Attempt at Stand-Up (VIDEO)

On 'The Bonnie Hunt Show' (weekdays, syndicated), 'Law & Order' star Anthony Anderson tells Bonnie Hunt the story of his first (and last) attempt at stand-up, a disastrous experience that resulted in him getting booed off the stage because he used an ill-chosen stage name.

"I think it all had to do with my name because ... I was going under the name 'Tasty Tony,'" Anderson said. "So, I got up and they said that name. And as soon as they said 'Tasty Tony,' they started booing ... It got so bad that they turned the mic off before I said anything. And then they turned the spotlight off. And then they booed me off the stage."
