And you know you want to do comedy?

Because I bet your parents are –

I was talking about this at the beginning of the show.

They're probably saying study, go to college, become a doctor or become an engineer or do something.

Well, I mean, look, my uncles were doctors.

My aunts were doctors.

So I went to college at Colgate University.

I'm like, I'm going to be a doctor.

I took organic chemistry, and I got a C- right out of the gate, and it was over.

I mean, it was finished, right?

That would have been the greatest day in my family's life, by the way, if I had a C-.

Organic chemistry from Colgate.

And I didn't really give a shit.

And my parents were like, you are not suited for this.

Uh-huh.

I mean, it was literally like, I don't know what else is there.

Right.

So and then I was in a bunch of plays in high school and college and I was sort of on the funny side of it all.

So I went back to Chicago for a semester and I did stand up at age 19.

And I, you know, I taped it and I'm like, let me see if I can entertain strangers.
