Everything, like, you know, everything I've done, you know, like, you know my story, like living lost, you know, I was a lawyer to become a comedian in Uganda where there's no comedy.
Ending up in New York, meeting you.
You said this, you said this, I remember.
You told me,
Because here's a funny story.
So we start, we hang out with Trevor.
We start working together.
You know, he starts, he goes like, oh, you know, I like your ideas.
Let's work together.
Then, you know, I get to meet his team.
Then he goes, okay, how about you write for me?
This was pre-Daily Show.
And I remember I told Trevor, but I'm also a comedian and I can't give you my best bits.
And also besides you're a road comedian, you can't afford me.
And so when, and then Trevor goes like, touche.
And so when Trevor got the Daily Show, the first text he sent me, I remember you were in the Middle East.
He told me, I can afford you now, bitch.
That was his job offer.
That was his job offer.
It started with an HR violation.
