Find out that your own do you worth, aren't it supported? That's what I'm telling you, man. It's a game. It's an evil game, man. But you stay in it because one thing can change your life around forever. Whether it's a viral video, a commercial, a TV series, a movie, you are always one thing away from making $2 million an episode. When you know those are the kind of numbers you're playing with,

I think that might have been true at one time. I think the guy that kind of, if you can even, you know, if you want to brand, you know, brand somebody with a title, which I guess in some degree is pretty useless, because it's all subjective. But if you were to brand somebody with that title, I would give that to Jay Pharoah.

He does so many, and it seems like he's constantly coming up with new ones. So I would give that to Jay Pharoah. My only thing is this. I just never wanted to be known for just that. Correct. And I'm not pointing the finger at anybody, but I think there are guys in this game who do great impressions, phenomenal, but aren't the best comedians.

And then there are guys who are phenomenal comedians who do impressions, but the impressions, eh, they aight. I always wanted to be like Eddie Murphy and be able to marry the two perfectly. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, for me, doing impressions is like being in the NBA as a basketball player and dunker. I can dunk anytime I want. I want you to know that I can play defense.

I can grab boards. I can pass. I got high basketball IQ. So to me, the first important part is the stand-up, is the material, is the wit, is the shot look, is the quickness, the improv. The impressions part is easy.

No doubt. But that's what I'm saying. Like, when I say I study Eddie Murphy, like, that to me is what makes him... Like, Richard Pryor is, like, the Babe Ruth. You know what I mean? Like, he... But Eddie Murphy, like, you know... I don't want to give Pryor Babe Rube. It's almost like Eddie Murphy is Michael Jordan and Richard Pryor is Bill Russell. You know what I'm saying?
