I was trying to get on stage three, four times a night if I could.
I just wanted to get my hours in, my five-minute increments of just expressing myself, talking about whatever I wanted.
Like, it was all, like, mind-boggling to me.
It was, like, shout it out loud.
I didn't understand that I could be a comedian.
I understood that I loved...
Comedians as a kid was like Steve Martin, the Blues Brothers, Eddie Murphy, these rock star comedians.
You know, Eddie Murphy in a red leather suit.
I didn't know it was a comedian.
The Blues Brothers were playing music, but they were comedians.
Cheech and Chong were playing music and doing sketches, but at the heart of it, they were comedians.
I didn't know that word, comedians.
I thought comedians were, you know, on Johnny Carson, my parents' generation.
You know, and I got a lot from that, too.
