Roy Wood Jr.

So that's about 40, 50 pranks.

And then there's another 80 or 90 that are never, that never got put on streaming.

They were just on YouTube.

I just didn't want to be known as the prank call dude.

And I was having a fear that that was going to be my fate.

A lot of people show love because of the pranks, but I also had a decade worth of standup appearances within that run.

And so like since 2002, bro, I've been on TV every year, minimum of one time, never less than five times since 2014.

So I've had a regular presence across cable and still around 2013, 2014.

A lot of people knew me for the pranks, which I respected and I loved.

But I got to draw your focus to something else.

So I have to make this harder to find.

Because the money I'm making off these pranks, if I'm not careful, will be the only money I make because people won't even think of me in this these other regards.

And I'm not just thinking about the fans.

I'm thinking about producers and writers who think, oh, we should call Roy.

He could do this thing.

You won't even think to call me.

You know, you got to be very careful about that.

Much in the same way that these young sketch internet people, after five years or so, you have to evolve beyond what you were.

Because if they only see you as that, then they attach you to a period of their life that they have matured from.

And you're seen as something that you may as well be the hula hoop in their garage or something.
