At the time, Bill Burr was not making a lot of money doing stand-up.

And I'm not disrespecting, but everybody knew he was gonna blow.

But that was early on in the career, and all Bill had to do was have a situation like he had in Philly.

Everybody knew he was gonna blow.

So I said, why don't we do a tour, me, Charlie, and Bill Burr.

That shit would be hot.

Charlie had never did stand-up, and I used to, he used to always crack jokes and shit.

I was like, yeah, you talk a lot of shit, but once that microphone, your ass, you a bitch-ass motherfucker.

So Charlie was a guy like, don't threaten him with anything, right?

So this is when they had the Laugh Factory in New York for Times Square, right?

One of my friends was doing a show there.

I was like, Charlie, yo, we're going to do this tour.

You got to at least have 10 minutes.

At that time, Charlie was so hot, people would have just yelled out, Charlie Murphy!

For five minutes.

He was the emcee.

We just needed his face to be there.

And this was...

It would be Charlie, Bill Burr, and myself.

And Charlie had no jokes, right?
