If you could give one piece of advice to an up-and-coming comedian or an up-and-coming broadcaster, when you see those people and you see the changes in media around you, other than follow your passion, what do you tell them to do?
I would tell them what I didn't get to do when I was a kid, and sometimes I fantasize about just starting all over again, because what I had to do when I started in radio was hang around the radio station for like three years, and then they let me on a little bit, and then they let me on a little more, and then when they thought I was funny, they let me on more.
But it took so long for me to get on the air and to learn to do the job that now I would say start doing a podcast
or start a YouTube channel.
Do it every single day.
It doesn't matter if anybody's watching it.
Just keep doing it over and over and over and over again, and you're gonna get, if you have any talent, you're going to get good at it.
And if you're good, I mean, really, YouTube is very, if something is good, it will catch on.
If something is interesting, people will take note of it, and it may take five years,
but you'll have something at the end of it.
This is great.
Thanks for doing it.
That was advice for you.
I appreciate it.
I did hear from one very special friend.
Moments after we taped our show last night, the mad red hatter wrote, I can't believe ABC fake news gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back.
You can't believe they gave me my job back.
I can't believe we gave you your job back.
For those who think I go too hard on Donald Trump, to the point where there are still a lot of people who think I should be pulled off the air for making fun of Donald Trump.
So I want to explain, I talk about Trump more than anything because he's a bully.
