I kind of thought I was done as far as being a famous person.
Right.
So my concern, not even a concern, I was like, okay.
I love standup and all I wanted out of standup, and this is like, this guy's a big star, but all I wanted out of standup was to be George Wallace.
Like, George Wallace, to me, was like... A great stand-up.
A great stand-up.
Always works.
This guy crushes every night.
Never want to follow George Wallace.
He would come into the club.
The only other black guy, by the way.
And he had great suits on.
And he had a fucking Cadillac.
And he was opening for bands in Vegas and whatnot.
And he was the only... He was the only...
guy I knew that was so organized, he had like a real schedule.
Like he didn't work in the summer.
Like he would actually vacation and he had houses here and there.
And I was like, man, if I could just be like George Wallace,
That's what I wanted.
