Appearances
Yeah, me too.
It's much more enjoyable.
And the audience enjoys it.
And it's more honest, actually, because it's what I consume all day.
Yeah, I sit down there.
If it requires graphics and if it requires a sustained argument, I do it behind the desk.
Most of the time.
That was easy.
That part was really fast.
But to enjoy taking my time with it, that's the thing.
And seeing the smiles on the people in the front row unlocked the door for me and allowed me to really enjoy it.
You've got to sincerely enjoy what you're doing or else the audience, I think, can sniff it.
And it took me a few months to really enjoy standing there.
And as you can see, show first started, we did like three-minute opening monologues.
Now we do 10-minute opening monologues because I don't want it to end.
I want to stay there on stage with them.
What to do when the audience is laughing?
Hide your erection?
Yeah.
What do you do?
