That was the joke.

Now, I did that joke thousands of times, and I hated it so much.

Every time I would say it, I hated the way my mouth felt.

Do you know that kind of thing where you've done a joke too many times?

Right.

I didn't even know what I was saying.

I was just making breath go through my fucking throat and making sounds and they'd laugh and I'd hate it.

You're an autopilot.

Yes.

And all of the jokes in that first hour, I just did them for years and years and I started to rot and feel like I got nothing.

Was there a comic that gave you the bump or was it just you?

Well, there was a few things that started it.

One of them was I was me and a bunch of comics in New York were just like doing our same sets.

You do the same five when you audition for Letterman and the same 20 when you try to get on this thing, you know, whatever.

No one's getting an hour special.

That was like nobody was getting that.

And you try to get money at the clubs sometimes and SNL once in a while auditions.

It was just miserable.

And then Chris Rock, who had been on SNL but then vanished for a while.

Yes.
