  • Executive Meddling -- Hicks' final appearance on The David Letterman Show was pulled entirely. Letterman apologised directly to Bill's family for this a few years ago and said it probably said more about him as a person than it did about the material, and then proceeded to play the routine in its entirety. Worth noting that Bill's routine had a bit that attacked pro-lifers, and a pro-life group had been one of the advertisers of the show; Bill concluded that was why it had happened.
  • Playing Against Type -- The posthumously-released album Lo-Fi Troubadour. It's a collection of acoustic songs that Hicks wrote and recorded on the side. The songs are sweet, gentle, and basically as far from his comic persona as possible.
