He was a stand-up comic from USA who was famous for using profanity in nursery rhymes and joking about minorities. He even had a movie called "Ford Fairlane". All this was in the early 1990s, then he disappeared! What happened? Character assassination by a "politically correct" group?

Andrew Dice Clay is doing his own radio show, Out of the Cage on the "Special Time Slot" on Sirius.
PASADENA, CA, January, 11, 2007 - The self-titled "Rocky of Comedy," Andrew Dice Clay, is coming out of retirement and he's pulling out all stops to do it with a multi-media blitz -- writing a book, cutting a record, producing his own Sirius radio show and playing to the types of crowds that made him a legend. In the VH1 series "Dice Undisputed" viewers will get an intimate and often hilarious look into the highs and lows of this heavyweight king of laugh's personal and professional life as he fights to get back on top. "Dice Undisputed" premieres Sunday, March 4 at 10:30 PM*. VH1 has picked up 7 episodes of this half-hour series.

Before society became consumed with Political Correctness, Clay established a lucrative career for himself. If you d be so bold as to call his shtick an actual "career".
With appeal to such a narrow market segment, he never really exceeded the status of third-tier celebrity - even at his most popular.
Say what you want, do what you will, there s no escaping karma.
It s dubious business when you elevate pissing people off to an art form.
The inability to evolve his material, and the outright defiance to apologize for acting like an obnoxious dick does not bode well.
In the end, the Big D proved a one-dimensional and mediocre talent. But you ve got to give the guy credit.
Although his routine is as stale as a fart in an oxygen tent, he refuses to go away.
Kind of reminiscent of genital herpes. And just as painful to watch.

He had a meltdown on national television and ruined his image.
He's still around though, he has a television show on VH1 right now, and I just saw him at the South Beach Comedy Festival. He doesn't do much new material, and he's still rude and crude and entertaining, if you like him. But, he's also kind of sappy and emotional and slowly ruining his career further by being that way. (Hard to be a bad *** when you're crying on TV about relationship issues and all that)

I think he has a new show (reality based) on MTV or VH-1... he was a fair comedian, but his vulgar act rubbed lots of women the wrong way (witness the tirade from 'Princess Buttercup' above)... its ironic really, because he seems like a sensitive guy when he's not doing his routine.

Andrew "Dice" Clay (born Andrew Clay Silverstein on September 29, 1957, in Brooklyn, New York) is an American comedian and actor of Jewish heritage. He is known for his profane comedy in a career that has lasted over 20 years.
Rick Rubin was quoted on the "E! True Hollywood Story: Andrew Dice Clay" as saying, in effect, "What's the bad news? That he's making seven figures in Vegas?", a reference to Clay's popular Las Vegas Strip comedy shows. He was ranked number 95 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time. After a live comedy appearance on the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards he received a "lifetime ban" due to his profane language and offensive jokes. According to his new show Dice: Undisputed on VH1, Clay is engaged to Eleanor Kerrigan, a former professional wrestler named EZ Rider from Women of Wrestling.
Clay garnered a recording contract with Rick Rubin's Def American label. His debut album Dice was a commercial success. Sampled excerpts from the album made their way to tracks by gangsta rap artist Ice Cube. In 1989, he hosted the annual MTV Video Music Awards, where his raunchy and profane material caused MTV to ban him from the network for life. When he hosted Saturday Night Live, musical guest Sinéad O'Connor and cast member Nora Dunn refused to appear, protesting Clay's misogynistic persona. Clay donated the money from this appearance to charity. One segment on the program parodied both It's a Wonderful Life and the controversy surrounding Clay's appearance on the program, with Clay pondering suicide on a bridge, when he is met by his "guardian devil," played by Jon Lovitz. Lovitz shows him what the world would be like if he had not been born, including Nora Dunn crushed by Sinéad O'Connor's guitar amplifier.
On March 4, 2007, Andrew Dice Clay premiered a weekly celebreality series on VH1. The show focuses on Clay and his entourage as he attempts to promote his comedy career. The series is produced by Fox and follows Clay as he writes a book, records a CD and produces his own Sirius satellite radio show. VH1 Senior Vice President Jeff Olde describes the show as a "real-life 'Entourage,' only with disheveled fortysomething guys in the comedy world." Dice: Undisputed is executive produced by Danny Salles for Fox TV Studios. Jeff Olde, Jill Holmes, Alex Demyanenko and Damla Dogan are executive producers for VH1. Press release
Clay was banned from MTV, but his current show is on sister network VH1. Both VH1 and MTV are subsidiaries of MTV Networks, which itself is owned by Viacom.
