It used to be, you become a stand-up,

You get on TV, you do late night, you start to tour a little bit, you get a writing job and you get health insurance and make a bunch of money and now you're good to go.

And maybe you become famous and maybe you don't, but you have work.

And then that TV died and it's all gone.

And then now there's like, I don't know, it just became like a, what do you do?

And then we all figured it out.

Oh, I have to be famous on the internet.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

But now comedy is going through a resurgence where live comedy is big.

But I don't know if that necessarily ties into anything else happening that's just been happening.

I don't know if there's new comedy clubs, but comedy is doing well.

I'm sure you get asked this a lot.

What advice do you have to someone who's like, I think I could do that?

Because I'm sure people come up to you and say, I think I could do that.

And you look at them and go, you couldn't.

All the time.

Just looking at you, I know you couldn't.

Try something else before you waste 10 years of your life.

But then there are people who like, maybe you were one of these people who are like, I think I could do this.
