A lot of people will tell me, well, you know, Trump's back in office.
That must be great for you doing comedy, whatever.
I'm like, no, I think I come up with something.
I think I'd like to think it doesn't take the destruction of democracy and the Constitution for me to be like, oh, I thought of a quip.
You know, like I'm always disappointed when people say that because I'm like, you have no faith in me.
That would be like saying you need a volcano to have anything to talk about.
I'm trying.
Okay.
I'm always trying.
I think that over time, you just have an understanding of the language of getting an idea across.
And sometimes, not always, because you don't want to overdo it, but sometimes it is funnier to let someone complete the sentence in their head.
And so sometimes it's that.
And sometimes the pause is a recollection of my genuine reaction.
Like sometimes someone will say something and the thing they're saying is like insane.
And so then when you think back to what you did, you realize you did nothing.
So then you're like – and then my reaction was to – and then you pause.
So there's lots of different reasons to do it.
And then even sometimes in a story, the pause allows – like one thing I've been very blessed with is that maybe it's because of my –
demeanor or the structure that I tell stories or the cadence, but a lot of people watch me who English is their second language.
And so sometimes even the pause serves a couple different things where it's intentional for the storytelling, but it also allows the person to catch up in their head when they're doing the sort of translation and everything.
