Michelle Obama

all in all, I don't know how long ago it really was.

Because, yeah, because basically even when I got hired at Tonight Show, you know, because entertainment jobs for the most part to your family either seem like the most money in the world or nothing or they just don't know, you know, like I have friends who

who are really successful in writing, and their parents are still like, well, we wish you would have been a doctor sort of thing, right?

And so I got hired at Tonight Show, and I think it was some of my mom even...

in my head a little bit because I still did not quit the job at the grocery store right away.

I was like, I might be able to do one day on the weekend just in case because you never know what if I get in the building and then Jimmy's like, actually, you know what I mean?

You don't want to get the speech early, you know?

That'd be terrible.

And so, I think my mom really got comfortable when

I think it was like when I got hired at Daily Show.

Yeah, Daily Show.

And not even the first year of Daily Show because I think for her, I would imagine one job at a show was like another job at a show.

But I think once I had been there a little while and she saw that it was really stable and steady and that I was doing other things on top of it and I was taking care of myself and everything, then that's when she was like, oh, okay, like...

I think she was always, you know, she was definitely always supportive.

It was more just that mom thing of like, I want you to be all right.

I don't want you to do anything rash or like dumb or put all your eggs in one basket or something like that.

But yeah, I think it was really a couple of years into Daily Show.

You know, I had been on a show now before, but it's such a collaborative process and it's such a

it's such a great group of people.

They took me in really, really open and really helpful as I was trying to learn how best to craft things for the show.
