Personal Life
Kinison was close friends with comedians Bill Hicks and Rodney Dangerfield.
In February 2011, the Toronto Sun reported that Sam Kinison fathered a child with the wife of his best friend and opening act, Carl LaBove, who had been paying child support for the girl for nearly 13 years. LaBove filed legal papers claiming the girl was Kinison's, and DNA tests taken from Kinison's brother Bill show a 99.8% likelihood that Sam Kinison is the father of the unnamed woman, who was 21 at the time of the Toronto Sun story, and excluded LaBove as her father.
On April 4, 1992, six days before he died, Kinison married girlfriend Malika Souiri.
