IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
No One Tells You to Be a Comedian with Josh Johnson

But the people at the top are like, well, you are never going to get in either.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
No One Tells You to Be a Comedian with Josh Johnson

And so they keep you focused on these eight slots, whether you are on the outside or whether you feel like you should be inside.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
No One Tells You to Be a Comedian with Josh Johnson

There's these eight slots.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
No One Tells You to Be a Comedian with Josh Johnson

Never mind that guy, right?

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
No One Tells You to Be a Comedian with Josh Johnson

The guy that said, all right, no more as a white guy, no more white guys.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
No One Tells You to Be a Comedian with Josh Johnson

His son gets in.

No One Tells You to Be a Comedian with Josh Johnson

Because the belief is that, by some people, the belief is that if it wasn't for these eight people, I would have got in.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
No One Tells You to Be a Comedian with Josh Johnson

Which is also a little insane because...

There were people before they ever had eight slots, right?

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
No One Tells You to Be a Comedian with Josh Johnson

When it was just like 100 white slots.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
No One Tells You to Be a Comedian with Josh Johnson

There was like the 101st white guy who couldn't get in.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
No One Tells You to Be a Comedian with Josh Johnson

So it's like, you might not be able to beat other white people.

No One Tells You to Be a Comedian with Josh Johnson

Yeah, I mean, I look at it as... There are a couple ways, depending on the...
