Carl LaBove

Carl LaBove was an American stand-up comedian.

On April 10, 1992, LaBove was traveling in a vehicle behind Kinison when Kinison was fatally injured in a car crash while traveling to a comedy appearance in Laughlin, Nevada.

LaBove claimed he had a good relationship with the young woman that was, in all likelihood, the daughter of Sam Kinison. LaBove said she showed up at one of his stand-up performances years ago, and he was able to clarify who her biological father really was. Learning that Kinison was the child's father and Kinison's death affected LaBove for several years, during which he abused alcohol, saying it was the only way to get through his stand-up comedy appearances, and attempted to commit suicide.

After learning of LaBove's death, fellow Las Vegas comedian Carrot Top posted on his official Instagram account, "We lost one of the best today. Carl LaBove was not only one of the funniest, talented people but one of the sweetest."
