Anthony Jeselnik

But the people that I admire the most are guys like Stan who donated his body and his mind to comedy.

He dresses like that for comedy.

Guys like Chris Rock that I was lucky enough to tour with.

And I was like, I'm going to study everything he does for these three months we're going through Europe.

And after two nights, I was like, there's nothing I can learn.

He's a genius.

I would watch how he prepped, but there was nothing I could glean from it.

He tried to give me a joke once.

It was like this your this reference isn't working try this and I was like I don't use other people's stuff You never take a tag never now people like try and I'm like, please don't like I didn't enjoy writing too much I'd rather find it on my own and he was like Louie's got a joke of mine in his act like Seinfeld's got a joke of mine like don't be a dick and the crew was like Anthony what are you doing?

Like take his fucking joke and after a week of convincing me.

I'm finally like art.

I'll try it and

And it bombed.

And the crew starts laughing.

And they're like, I've never seen someone so happy to have a joke bomb.

Like, I was thrilled because if it worked, I would have had to keep it.

But I was like, no, your reference didn't work.

So I was very happy.

So it's funny because it tells us Stan hopes the best, too.

That's his favorite.
