And that moves me.

That's very, that's incredible.

It's why I'm sitting here talking to you.

Let's be honest.

It's why I get to write a book.

But it's not the real me.

And I think you get to an age... I did my first Billy on the Street video for my stage show.

I had a live sketch comedy show in New York.

It started in 2003.

And the first video I made, YouTube wasn't even around.

We made this video to project on a screen in the theater we were playing in.

I went around and talked to people on the street and my friend Jamie, who was directing the show, we had gone to Northwestern together, he helped me edit the video, and we projected it onto a screen.

And I had been developing this persona, this high-intensity persona, this guy for whom pop culture...

The stakes were just so high for him when it came to pop culture topics.

And I had been developing that persona on stage.

And then we did this segment on the street where I kind of did that character but made people deal with me.

And from the second we showed it, the audience fell apart laughing.

That was in September 2004.

Then YouTube comes along.

The videos start to go viral.
