and recently has a recurring guest-starring role on "Law and Order." He regularly appears on talk-shows, making more than 100 appearances on "The Tonight Show" and "Late Show with David Letterman" alone. Klein has also appeared in many notable films including, "Hooper," "The Owl and the Pussycat," "Primary Colors," "People I Know," "Two Weeks Notice," "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," and "The Back-Up Plan" with Jennifer Lopez.

"The Amorous Busboy of Decatur Avenue," his first book for Simon & Schuster, is an affectionate coming-of-age memoir about growing up in the '50s and '60s before embarking on a show business career. In it he recounts his journey from an apartment in the Bronx, developing his talent in Chicago and the beginning of his show business stardom. The book is pure Robert Klein: witty, honest, self-questioning and always contagiously funny. Publishers Weekly wrote: "...he unfurls an array of captivating anecdotes, writing with wry wit and honesty."

Robert, a lifelong New Yorker, makes his home in Westchester and New York City.
