Can I tell it?

Tell it slowly.

I have so many questions.

It feels dumb talking about myself around y'all, but I'll try.

Okay, the single most impactful thing that I've ever seen

I was maybe 19 years old.

I opened for Richard Pryor at Newark Symphony Hall.

And I got there early.

And I met Mr. Pryor before the show.

And I could see, like I was eyeballing him, that he wasn't feeling well.

And by this time, everyone knew he had MS and all that.

I just don't know what MS does to people.

But I knew that whatever it does, it was doing it.

And so I say to myself, you know what?

I want to do good, but let me just take it easy because it's like a legend.

So I just did the housekeeping job.

I got the crowd good and warm.

And they didn't want to see me anyway.

They wanted to see him.

And then I go and I get off the stage.
