Nick Cannon

So I,

Things like they wouldn't allow me to do Def Jam and Comic View, but then there would be opportunities that would come my way that I was able to write for Nickelodeon.

I was the youngest staff writer in television history and all that stuff.

So then I was a teenager and I had, you know, credits as a writer.

Right.

And so then I can go, you know, obviously I'll get an endorsement deal like with Laffy Taffy, do a commercial.

Like, you know what?

We need somebody to write the jokes in Laffy Taffy.

I'll do it.

You know what I mean?

So for years, you open up Laffy Taffy.

I'm a fat nigga, so I opened up a lot of Laffy Taffys.

They just say at the bottom, written by Nick Cannon.

I want to write a movie.

Yeah.

It started off as like, you know, I would just love to write, always carry a notebook with me from, you know, writing verses and all that stuff.

And then you got to create your own opportunities.

Right.

So even in that, like I wasn't nobody looking out and trying to give me no job.

Just being, standing outside the comedy store, standing in front of the improv.
