Arsenio Hall

That Richard took the time to come to the amphitheater and then got up and came backstage after the opening act left the stage.

So I try to treat young comics and young entertainers that I meet the way the legends taught me, the way the legends treated me.

I remember having Quincy Jones come to watch me at the Roxy.

The next day he calls me, has me come to the studio, and I sit with him while he masters something called Off the Wall.

Oh, wow.

That we didn't even know.

And he's going, he's like, listen to this.

This is Sheila E. hitting different soil bottles with different levels of water in it.

And it makes different noise.

And it's ding, ding, ding, ba-da-ding, ding, ding, ding.

And he just plays that part.

And I think it was the beginning to, don't stop till you get enough.

But sitting there, and he said, yeah, man, Michael coming back, man.

He coming back hard.

And then he played a song.

He says, you're from Ohio, right?

This is the first time I've ever met him.

You're from Ohio, right?

And I'm like, yeah, John Levy told me you're from Ohio.

Let me play you something else.
