And I had to do audience warm-up.
where they were like, they were talking about putting me on that roast in the middle.
So I'm like waiting to hear the news.
Like, am I on this roast?
And they call me in and they're like, we'd love for you to do warmup.
And I was like, so dejected.
And it was like- Which roast was this?
It was the Hasselhoff roast.
I thought you were on that.
And no, I was on the Trump one, the next one.
And Jeff Ross had been like, he's been giving away his best jokes for two weeks.
Like, don't stick him in here.
And Hasselhoff didn't want me.
Hasselhoff wanted like a bigger star.
And rightly so.
But they call me and they're like, you're doing a warmup.
And I'm like, I can't say no because I think if I say no, maybe they don't put me on the next roast.
But I was like, this is the worst gig you can get.
Oh, yeah.
And they would tell me, they were like, you get a laugh, and then you wait until you sell the next joke so we can use your laughs for the roast.
