And I'm like, you're not making me like this more.

But Geraldo, like I saw him before at the red carpet, and I'm like, yeah, I'm doing warm-up.

And he's like...

You're doing a fucking warmup.

And then he like pumped me up.

And I remember walking out on that stage and Gerardo, because the deus is out there, and Gerardo stands up and gives me a standing ovation and is like, yeah.

And I was like, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Like that was like, that meant the world to me.

That he like got me through that.

I've got like Pam Anderson heckling me behind me, but Gerardo's like standing up at every joke and clapping.

And I didn't understand what my job was doing warmup.

And so I'm roasting people in the audience.

And I remember Jeff Ross even afterwards was like, I can't believe how you called, you did like eight fat jokes about Nicole Eggert.

And I was like, I thought like she would be cool with it.

And they're like, no one's cool with it.

They're in the audience.

They didn't know they were getting roasted.

Like I was, it was a terrible, terrible gig.

But Geraldo like truly got me through it.

And then we talked, you know, after the roast, I hugged him and that was the last time I saw him.
