About Freddie Prinze Jr.

Freddie Prinze Jr. Biography

Prinze worked at numerous New York City comedy venues, including Catch a Rising Star and The Improv. He changed his name to Prinze to pursue a career as a comedian. According to his buddy David Brenner, he selected it because he wanted to be known as the King of Comedy, but Alan King already had that last name, so he would be known as the Prince of Comedy instead. On one of the final episodes of The Jack Paar Show in 1973, he made his first television debut. His biggest break came in December 1973, when he appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. On his debut visit, Prinze was the first young comic asked to sit down and talk with Carson. He went on to appear on and guest host The Tonight Show several times after that. From 1974 to 1977, he co-starred with Jack Albertson in the NBC TV series Chico and the Man as Francisco Chico Rodriguez. Both Prinze and the program were instant successes. Prinze appeared on numerous Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts, most notably those for Sammy Davis Jr. and Muhammad Ali. In 1976, he featured in The Million Dollar Rip-Off, a made-for-TV film. In 1975, he also released a comedy album named Loooking Goood, which was recorded live at Mr. Kelly's in Chicago and was titled after his catchphrase from Chico and the Man. Prinze had a little-known ability for singing, which could be heard in the background of the Tony Orlando and Dawn record To Be With You, on their variety show, and on rare occasions on his own comedy. Among others, Prinze dated actresses Lisa Farringer and Pam Grier. He was also close to Kitty Bruce, the late Lenny Bruce's daughter, whom Prinze adored. He and Kitty Bruce were said to have been engaged at one point, but the rumor was never confirmed. In October 1975, he married Katherine Cochran. They had one son, Freddie James Prinze, who became an actor later in life. The son was given the middle name James Komack in honor of James Komack, the producer of Chico and the Man. After his arrest for driving under the influence of Quaaludes in 1976, his wife filed for divorce, claiming that his growing drug addiction was harming her and their kid. Chico and the Man repeats began airing on TV Land in 2001. The show regained popularity, gaining a whole new generation of followers for Prinze and the show while also rekindling the enthusiasm of old fans. Freddie Prinze Jr. had a program called Freddie on ABC in 2005. Although it was short-lived, it was remarkable for two reasons: Freddie Prinze was honored in the pilot episode. Prinze Junior's production firm is named Hunga Rican, Excitable Boy, and Prinze Senior may be heard in the background saying: Looking Good!
