First special I've ever done in an arena.

So I was very, very... I was contemplating whether or not to do it in an arena.

First it was scheduled...

in a theater in Red Bank, New Jersey, because I've just felt like when doing a special, it's nice to have an intimate environment.

It really plays well on camera.

And I was a little concerned about how large the room was and if people were going to think that this special was something that they could relate to just because of how grand it was.

However, the way we shot it and the production value of it was just phenomenal.

The lighting, the stage design, everything was just beautiful.

And I'm really proud of this one.

Not so much the last one.

The last one I did in Las Vegas and I did it in a tuxedo.

Like I said, I was in pain.

And I've had no mobility.

This one, I feel like I got my mojo back as far as my physical humor.

The stuff that I'm talking about is very current, very relatable.

You know, family-oriented, although there's some topics that I touch on about Amazon that's a little...

I don't know.

I think it's generally speaking, I don't do like current events.

Not that Amazon's a current event, but it is.

It's current in the sense that, you know, who knows in 10, 15 years where Amazon's going to be.
