And the audition for Daily Show came in and I didn't want to do it because I didn't want to move to New York.

It was the main reason.

I didn't want to move to New York.

I didn't want to watch the show.

And I was like, I don't know if I can do a political show.

And then somebody was like, well, you kind of do political stand up.

And I was like, no, I just talk about my experiences of being a black lady.

And because I'm talking about my experiences of being a black woman in America, it was like seen as inherently political.

And that wasn't what my goal was.

Because when I started doing comedy, I was a year and a half in and Big Kenny said when you because I was doing what everyone else was doing.

It's like, ah, self-checkout is trash.

Oh, this is that.

And so Big Kenny said, when you start talking about yourself, that's when your stand up is really going to change.

And one day I was at a show and I was doing my regular set.

I was like, I want to say these words.

And then just started going off the top of my head.

And I just things I had been thinking about.

And I actually recorded it on my phone.

I ended up with a new like 11 minute set.

Cause I think somebody was late and I was just filibustering till somebody showed up.
