Well, the thing that was funny about me is the entire time I worked in the San Fernando Valley as a carpenter, nobody ever accused me of being Jewish.

What could say is a bit of an accusation on the construction site.

Soon as I got into comedy, everyone's like, well, you're a Jew.

You understand.

And that's a compliment.

But it's the exact same person.

You just shift professions.

Exactly.

And you switch religions.

But no, not Jewish.

Because I think that I'm sure this is true for people from all different cultures and for different reasons.

I was never religious at all.

My family, not at all.

My parents, all they said about religion was nobody said life was fair.

That was the only spiritual advice we had in the house.

There's a lot of World War II talk.

And I certainly am not calling the administration or the president a Nazi.

But what this situation does when there are certain authoritarian leanings, it makes – it wakes up a genetic part of you that goes, this is the moment when I'm supposed to say –

We have to stand up and say stop.
