Charles Frederick "Skip" Stephenson

Died of AIDS or Heart Attack?

Anything (including an illness related to AIDS) could've been a contributing factor to a heart attack.

What makes you bring up this relatively unknown guy who died nearly 25 years ago ?

Not that it matters at all, but he did have three children and I see no mention of a spouse in his very brief L.A. Times obituary.

I have a lot to tell, deep dark horrible things but I am afraid it will ruin my career

Skip was a mess, coke head and all that but a notorious racist. I recall from the show where the introduced a pre-Governor Arnold

As Skip introduced Arnold Schwarzenegger, Byron Allen steps in to make sure he doesn't slip in a racial slur. Skip: "Arnold Schwarze-" Byron: "Watch it.." Skip: "NEGGER!!".

I got coke head from him but never gay.

Skip was one time the #1 candidate to replace Johnny so it must've been drugs and if he had AIDS, it was heroin.

What a blast from the past.

My first job out of college in the early 80s was night audit at the Marriott Long-Wharf in Boston. The cast of “Real People” was staying there and Skip called the front desk at 2:30 in the morning wanting room service. After explaining to him that room service closed at 11:00 and everything was locked up in the kitchen he says, “Do you KNOW WHO I AM?” I just said, “Yes. Do you know where you ARE? This is Boston. It closes up at 1 AM.”

He was such a douche.

He was a very unfunny comedian.

Skip Stephenson was nothing but a tall bottom nellie that took it up the ass from John Byner.

I'm still hosting and producing unfunny variety comedy shows on late late television. Fuck all you alls. I ruled real people
