There's a quiz in Entertainment Weekly where you match the the comedian to their bad behavior. Freddie's indiscretion was shooting up Jay Leno's apartment while he was a guest. It based on a new book about the comic scene in the 70s. The author is a Time Magazine editor so I would like to believe it will be accurate and not just rumours and sensationalism.

Was there a pic with this? Wish our luck probably not. Thanks for the info. I hope the book tells the truth about him & not making him out to be some bad guy...

It was a teeny headshot picture but he still looks adorable :) . The name of the book is Comedy at the Edge by Richard Zoglin. Hopefully the library will have it and I can take a quick look to see how they treated Freddie. It also talks about other comedians like Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, and George Carlin so it might be an interesting read.
