  • - I'm definitely a comedian.

  • - Yeah.

  • - I can say that one thing with confidence.

  • 15,000 people laughing at your jokes.

  • That's kind of an amazing feeling.

  • I want to do a better show

  • every time I'm on stage.

  • Do a set tonight,

  • and I ain't wastin any time.

  • I got a list of stuff I want to try.

  • I want to make sure that this set

  • makes me better.

  • There's a huge challenge in not having your old act.

  • But I think you rise to the occasion.

  • This movie is unreleasable. (laughter)

  • You have wasted my money.

  • Well geez, it's only this.

  • And I'm like, well that's more money

  • than my dad made in his life.

  • Anytime you see me do an event

  • where some stranger says something to me,

  • it's me.

  • I say out loud, I'll never do the same hour in a year.

  • And then inside, I'm going

  • oh geez, - Oh god, why did I say that?

  • - Why did I say that?

  • You get to be on Earth.

  • First of all, oh my god, (audience laughter)

  • what a location.

  • - He's an American comedian,

  • actor, writer, director, and producer.

  • He's the creator, star, and executive producer

  • of FX's series, Louie.

  • He's considered one of the greatest standup comedians

  • of all time.

  • He's Louis C.K.,

  • and here are his Top 10 Rules for Success.

  • - I never keep trying what ...

  • Like standup is always the standby for me.

  • Like that's what I do.

  • - The meal ticket.

  • - That's, yeah. - Yeah.

  • - That's what I am.

  • I'm a comic. I'm a comedian.

  • So anything else I do,

  • it's like if I make a movie,

  • I would never say I'm a film maker.

  • I would never call myself that.

  • I'm a comedian who made a movie,

  • you know? - Right.

  • - I'm definitely a comedian.

  • - Yeah. - I can say that one thing

  • with confidence.

  • But so I've tried T.V.,

  • and I try it and it doesn't work

  • and then I go back to comedy.

  • And if something I'm doing as a standup

  • leads me back to like,

  • hey this might be a show,

  • then I'll try.

  • I'll try anything that I think might be good.

  • I don't care about like,

  • well I failed at it before.

  • You know what I mean?

  • Who cares?

  • Try it again.

  • I mean there's always a reason - I love that philosophy.

  • - Well also - Well you were ...

  • - The first time I did a pilot,

  • the very first time I got a deal to do

  • a pilot for a sitcom, - Yeah.

  • - I wrote it and they really liked it

  • and it got close, and then they said

  • we're not going to make the pilot.

  • - That was Saint Louie?

  • - No, it was before that. - Oh.

  • It was a whole other thing.

  • And then, I wrote Saint Louie with this other guy

  • and they made the pilot.

  • We got to shoot a pilot.

  • It was so exciting.

  • And I shot a pilot

  • and then they said, "we're not going to make the show."

  • All right.

  • Third time around,

  • made a pilot,

  • and got one season of Lucky Louie on the air.

  • And then that's all they wanted.

  • There's a limit to everything.

  • You can't think everything's just going to be

  • everything forever.

  • - Yeah.

  • - That was the limit of that one.

  • I did one season.

  • Okay.

  • And now I've done Louie, and it's gone three seasons.

  • So I got a little further each time.

  • I pushed the ball a little further ahead each time.

  • I mean, not doing something cause it didn't work

  • would be like if you're a quarterback

  • and you go the line of scrimmage at the 25

  • or wherever the guy ran it to

  • and you hand the ball off and the guy pushes it eight yards

  • and you're like, well we didn't score a touchdown,

  • so I'll go home.

  • - You know? - Right.

  • - I mean, there's no point.

  • - But at the same time, - You keep pushing.

  • 15,000 people laughing at your jokes,

  • that's kind of an amazing feeling.

  • But also having them sit there looking at you listening

  • is really great too.

  • But I always see,

  • I've done it three times now

  • and it was the same every time

  • that they're all laughing,

  • the show's going great,

  • but what I see are there's at least,

  • in 15,000 people, there's like

  • a thousand disappointed people.

  • (audience laughter)

  • There's like a thousand people - No.

  • - And they're dotted.

  • I see 'em all. - You see them ...

  • - I see 'em still today.

  • But during the show, I see them,

  • just guys going like, ehh ... - Yeah.

  • (audience laughter)

  • - Those are the ones that you really see.

  • Everyone's going, yay!

  • And I'm just,

  • ah, I'm sorry buddy. - You're certain that you're

  • reading their disappointment accurately?

  • - Absolutely.

  • (audience laughter)

  • I'm 100% sure.

  • - Well, I'm not sure that's true,

  • but I share the feeling.

  • I know that ...

  • Hell, I know it here tonight.

  • (audience laughter)

  • - Well the more people you reach

  • and the more people that see you,

  • the more people are going to think that you suck.

  • That's just the law of mathematics.

  • - Yes, but - You can't please everybody.

  • - Let me explain it to you this way.

  • - Yeah. - If, in fact, that's true,

  • why would those people go to the trouble of

  • ordering the tickets online and showing up?

  • - Cause they're just miserable (beep)

  • (audience laughter) - I don't know.

  • I don't know, they just like to go to ...

  • That's not their fault.

  • - Well no, okay.

  • - It's not their fault.

  • I don't know, they heard I was good.

  • - Case closed.

  • - They heard I was good.

  • Well it's not about not killing,

  • it's about doing the best show that you can do

  • and it's about staying at the edge of your ...

  • I want to do a better show every time I'm on stage.

  • I mean, part of it is that I want what I do

  • to keep getting better.

  • Unless you think you're the best comedian

  • that ever could poss- like, you're a

  • perfect crystalline diamond of a comedian

  • that couldn't possibly be improved upon,

  • every molecule has been compressed together

  • to the point there's no air in it.

  • - [Host] Right, right.

  • - You're a black hole of a comic that can't,

  • there's just no room for improvement.

  • You know, you've folded the samurai sword a thousand times

  • and just can't fold anymore. - [Host] (laughing)

  • No.

  • So you got to keep trying.

  • I mean, I think a lot of people in show business

  • and comedy even, especially,

  • are very lazy and they just sort of think

  • that you just get up there

  • and then you wait for your manager to get you a better one.

  • A better shot.

  • But it's something you got to really,

  • to me,

  • I mean for me, I just want to keep working at it.

  • I wouldn't like it if I stopped trying really hard.

  • It isn't a neurosis, like oh geez, I hope they like me.

  • It's this is what I do,

  • I got to do it really well.

  • - So when did you get to the point where ...

  • You know, struggling to get better,

  • make a living,

  • figure out how to deal with hecklers,

  • like a million things to,

  • all right, I'm good at this,

  • now I'm going to try to be great at this.

  • - Well that was when I saw him do that,

  • that was a big deal.

  • I was writing for T.V. then,

  • so I was a little more - Spread out.

  • - Focused on that. - Yeah.

  • - But I started going back out to clubs again

  • and then my life changed in its own way.

  • I had kids and I grew up also.

  • So I just,

  • you know, everybody grows up at a different time.

  • - Yeah.

  • - I grew up when I had kids

  • and started really thinking about standup.

  • When I had kids, it made a big difference for me

  • cause when I went out to do a set,

  • it wasn't a social event.

  • It was until that point,

  • you just go to the Comedy Cellar,

  • have a falafel at the comedy table,

  • - [Host] Yeah.

  • - Run down and do your set,

  • bull (beep) with some comics.

  • It was a lot of wasting time.

  • - Yeah. - And it didn't really matter

  • how the set was, that was just the job.

  • I'm just going to go on and do my time,

  • tell the same jokes,

  • maybe do one new joke.

  • But now it's like, I've got kids

  • and getting out of the house is a big deal.

  • - Yeah. - I can do a set tonight

  • and I ain't wastin any time.

  • I got a list of stuff I want to try.

  • I want to make sure that this set makes me better.

  • I started to think every set I do

  • has to make me a better comic.

  • There's a huge challenge in not having your old act.

  • But I think you rise to the occasion.

  • And you don't rise to the occasion

  • if you don't put the void there.

  • But ...

  • - What is - If you take away

  • your old material from yourself,

  • like one thing I started doing

  • when I was developing hours is

  • I'd take my closing bit and I'd open with it.

  • - Right.

  • - Just to (beep) with myself.

  • - Right, right - Just cause then

  • I have to follow my strongest bit.

  • - That's how he got good.

  • You see this attitude?

  • - I, you know ... - He's a tough guy.

  • - I've been watching him.

  • - Yeah. He's a tough guy.

  • - Well cause then the end of your act cauterizes.

  • It gets stronger just cause you don't have a choice.

  • (laughter) You know what I mean?

  • - Cauterizes. - So that's

  • why I started doing that.

  • You get rid of all your best weapons

  • and you have to, you know,

  • or else you're dead.

  • - [Host] But don't you think

  • sometimes - So they bring something

  • out of you. - [Host] When we discussed ...

  • - I wrote and directed Pootie Tang.

  • - But then didn't the studio lose faith in you during it?

  • - Yes, they sure did, yeah. - And they took you off

  • the film.

  • - Yes, they took me off the,

  • well I had already shot it

  • and it was during the editing process.

  • They hated my cut,

  • they fired my editor, got another guy,

  • let me do one more cut.

  • - [Host] Chris Rock was the star.

  • - He was one of the stars, yeah.

  • - [Host] He read the script, he liked it.

  • I assume the studio read the script and liked it.

  • - Yeah, yeah. - Wasn't that a character

  • that was sort of on the Chris Rock show?

  • - Yeah, Pootie Tang - [Host] Pootie Tang.

  • - Was the character we did on the Chris Rock show.

  • - Right, and you worked on that show,

  • and you said hey, I - But yeah, I created

  • the character there, yes

  • - [Host] I'm going to make a movie about Pootie Tang.

  • - Well Chris asked me do you think there's

  • a movie in that guy.

  • And I said

  • that's a little nutty

  • but I'll try it. - You should have called me.

  • I would have told you no.

  • (laughter)

  • - Well of course you're going to say yes.

  • You (inaudible)

  • - I wanted to make movies, yeah.

  • Very badly.

  • - And so the net with that show was very popular.

  • The studio was probably excited about it.

  • - Sure.

  • - You go out you shoot the thing,

  • you write the thing,

  • you do all of it.

  • And at what point does the studio say,

  • listen, you're (beep)?

  • (laughter)

  • What have you done here?

  • - I remember that point.

  • It was a great moment in my life.

  • - Who comes to see you?

  • - They summon you.

  • I got flown out to L.A. (laughter)

  • - Nice.

  • Are you thinking, wow, I'm getting flown to L.A.

  • - First class. - They don't even tell you.

  • - First class. I have no idea.

  • Well I kind of smelled somethin,

  • but they took me to Paramount.

  • You know those gates.

  • It's like you feel like that

  • you're going to the White House.

  • And I went to John Goldwyn's office.

  • He was Samuel Goldwyn's grandson.

  • - He's a big guy. I know that.

  • - Yeah.

  • And so I'm in his office.

  • I'm in the most important office at Paramount.

  • He was running the studio at the time

  • and he just ...

  • I remember I walked in and he's shaking a little

  • because he's so mad.

  • And he just almost,

  • everybody was there that was involved in the movie.

  • He just unloaded on me and said,

  • "this movie is unreleasable! (laughter)

  • You have wasted my money!

  • This is irresponsible.

  • I have a problem with everyone here."

  • And then this guy who was the President of M.T.V Films

  • who they said,

  • "well John, I don't think you really got the film."

  • "How dare you say that to me!"

  • - [Host] Ohh god! And starts screaming at

  • company presidents cause of my movie.

  • - [Woman] Wow!

  • - There was nothing redeemable about the work.

  • Now did - Not to him but

  • here's the thing is to me, - [Host] How do you go on in

  • show business after something like that?

  • - Well that, I'll never forget that moment.

  • Cause I feel my whole ...

  • All I wanted to do is make movies at the time

  • and it was being destroyed

  • (laughter)

  • by Samuel Goldwyn's grandson.

  • - [Host] He knows something.

  • - Yeah, a little bit. - [Host] Right?

  • - And I'm sitting there,

  • but a part of me was outside of my body

  • going, you are in the Paramount big office

  • being yelled at.

  • But I said, how (beep) cool is this?

  • (laughter)

  • - Really? You were able to - Yes.

  • I was able to enjoy it.

  • - [Host] You turned it into a positive.

  • - [Woman] Wow.

  • - Absolutely, because who gets to have

  • that very rare, beautiful experience to get to heaven?

  • - You know, I read How to Make Friends and Influence People.

  • But for you to have such a positive attitude

  • as your career is ... - [Woman] That's amazing.

  • - Well to me, the key is like

  • surviving failure is a great ...

  • It's a very great experience to have.

  • - [Host] Tell me about

  • (laughter)

  • - Yeah look, I went through all of that Howard,

  • and the press ...

  • I grew up watching Siskell and Ebert on PBS,

  • you know when it was that show.

  • And so I always dreamed when I was kid,

  • someday Roger Ebert and that other dude is dead,

  • they're going to look at me through the camera

  • and say something about my movie.

  • And here was Roger Ebert saying,

  • "Pootie Tang is so bad I don't even understand what it is.

  • This isn't even a movie.

  • It's not even complete."

  • (laughter)

  • - [Howard] But like he's like,

  • why don't they shoot the director?

  • (laughter)

  • - Yeah, he was like so hateful.

  • And I'm having the experience of

  • becoming famous for making a movie

  • everyone unanimously thinks is awful.

  • There are some people who like to just

  • show up and do a show and get a check.

  • - [Interviewer] Yeah.

  • - And they don't think about,

  • like I'm interested in everything.

  • Like when I tour and they tell me,

  • hey you're doing the Chicago Theater

  • and here's how much you're making,

  • they tell me this big exciting number.

  • Then I go, I ask them,

  • well how much are the tickets?

  • And then they go well, in order to pay you that

  • they're charging 50 bucks a ticket.

  • I don't want people to pay 50 bucks a ticket to see me.

  • How much do I get paid

  • if they pay 30 bucks a ticket?

  • Well geez, it's only this.

  • And I'm like, well that's more money

  • than my dad made in his life.

  • (laughter)

  • I mean, I'll take it.

  • And also,

  • once I started looking at it that way,

  • I learned stuff.

  • Like I learned that if you ask for a

  • high guarantee for a live show,

  • you drive up the ticket price cause the risk is higher.

  • But if you tell the theater, look,

  • don't guarantee me anything.

  • Only pay me if we make money.

  • Then the price of the tickets come down

  • and they don't have to advertise as much

  • because they're not as afraid that they're going to lose ...

  • Do you understand what I'm saying?

  • - Yeah, totally.

  • - So and if you work in a theater without a guarantee,

  • you actually get paid more

  • because the show costs less.

  • It costs less for the advertising, all that stuff.

  • So if you sell it out,

  • you will make more money.

  • So I started learning about that stuff.

  • Like, really interesting to me.

  • Like the story I tell on Conan about

  • the guy next to me on the airplane

  • when the internet shuts down suddenly.

  • There wasn't anybody next to me on that plane.

  • That was me.

  • There was nobody next to me.

  • People don't talk to me on airplanes.

  • Anytime you see me doing a bit

  • where some stranger said something to me,

  • it's me.

  • The fact is, I was really upset

  • that the internet shut down.

  • I was livid.

  • And then I caught myself and said,

  • wait a minute, what are you upset about?

  • This was incredible that this was possible even.

  • And I sort of started,

  • it was kind of like an epiphany for me.

  • I started seeing things differently,

  • like realizing that when we get to a gate

  • and they go we need ten minutes because

  • the guy at the gate,

  • the plane at our gate hasn't backed out yet.

  • And I go, okay, come on.

  • Like that was me.

  • Let's go!

  • Why?

  • It's actually not going to get me there quicker.

  • It's not going to get, you know what I mean?

  • Like I'm losing nothing.

  • I just feel bad.

  • But if you can just like take a breath and calm down

  • and go, you know this is as good

  • as they make these right now.

  • This is as good as it is.

  • And it's pretty goddamned great.

  • But somehow, we don't, ehh.

  • Doesn't make us happy, and that's too bad.

  • I always think that means people are bad people.

  • It means that they're unhappy.

  • - They just want jetpacks.

  • That they have all this great (beep),

  • and if you had a jet pack, you'd be like,

  • I have the (beep) jet pack.

  • I can't believe I got this jet pack.

  • Who's your service provider on your jet pack, cause ...

  • Do they make the new one?

  • I hate this thing.

  • It sucks.

  • And then we'd all sit there and talk about that.

  • Part of me feels like

  • that if people have to go back to basics a little bit.

  • They'll start to see that,

  • cause there's no ...

  • You have a job and then you don't even

  • make enough for the (beep) you even own.

  • You have a house full and a car and a house

  • of all this (beep) you can't have.

  • You can't afford it.

  • And you don't even get the pride of saying like,

  • I have this job and because of it

  • I have that car.

  • I have this job and because of it

  • I have custody of this car

  • that the bank is paying somebody else for.

  • And if they ever come callin,

  • I'm going to go to jail.

  • It's really a (beep) life I think

  • that we're living right now.

  • And I feel bad for people,

  • cause I see it in their faces all the time.

  • So that's really more what it was about.

  • I didn't mean to say we're a (beep) generation.

  • I meant to say that we're a (beep) generation.

  • - So you never got worried about tapping out?

  • - Yeah, of course.

  • I'm terrified of tapping out.

  • - Yeah.

  • - But that's a motivating fear.

  • That's pressure.

  • - Yeah.

  • - I like pressure.

  • I learned that from Billie Jean King.

  • - Billie Jean King! - One of my heroes.

  • Yes. One of my heroes. - Really?

  • Yes.

  • I remember as a kid watching a press conference

  • with Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs

  • - [Interviewer] Yeah. - When they were doing

  • Battle of the Sexes.

  • I was so fascinated by that,

  • cause I was raised by a single mom

  • and I have three older sisters.

  • So I've always identified with

  • women taking care of (beep)

  • and I never saw women as weak.

  • I only ever knew my strong working single mother.

  • So watching Billie Jean King

  • field this horrible,

  • just misogyny was fascinating

  • cause of the way she carried it.

  • That's what made it work.

  • Cause he would sit there going, you know,

  • why don't you all get back in the kitchen?

  • - (laughing) That's right, I forgot he did that.

  • - It was amazing.

  • - Yeah.

  • - And he'd have two girls in bikinis with big tits.

  • I mean there's no bigger insult to a working woman

  • than chicks with tits.

  • And he'd sit there and he'd go like,

  • yeah, this is what a woman is.

  • What's your problem or whatever.

  • And the way she carried it was amazing.

  • She didn't sit there and turn red

  • and be like Wilma and get angry.

  • She just sat there like this.

  • And then they asked her,

  • how do you feel when he says all this?

  • And she smiled and she said,

  • all it does is put a lot of pressure on me.

  • And I love pressure.

  • And she had this big smile on her face.

  • She said I love pressure.

  • And I thought, oh my,

  • I never forgot it.

  • I thought, oh my god.

  • How do you love,

  • what does that mean?

  • Like I thought really carefully about that.

  • She really did.

  • She was like come on,

  • keep it comin.

  • I love it. I love it.

  • I want this pressure.

  • Cause she knows how to turn pressure into hard work.

  • She knows how to,

  • it motivates her.

  • - Yeah.

  • - She knows that the heat from pressure

  • is going to make her work harder

  • so she's like, go ahead.

  • The more he said the more she had to win.

  • There's no way.

  • She had so much to lose

  • that she knew she'd play better.

  • So that's the way I do it.

  • I think,

  • like I say out loud,

  • I'll never do the same hour in a year.

  • And then inside I'm going, oh

  • - Oh god, why did I say that?

  • - Why did I say that?

  • And then it pushes me.

  • - Don't tape shit on your ...

  • Life is short.

  • Life is very short.

  • I like life. I like it.

  • I feel like even if it ends up being short,

  • I got lucky to have it

  • cause life is an amazing gift when you think about

  • what you get with a basic life.

  • Not even a particularly lucky life

  • or a healthy life.

  • If you have a life, it's an ...

  • Here's your boiler plate deal with life.

  • This is basic cable, what you get

  • (audience laughter)

  • when you get life.

  • You get to be on Earth.

  • First of all, oh my god,

  • what a location!

  • (audience laughter)

  • This is Earth and for trillions of miles in every direction,

  • it (beep) sucks so bad.

  • (audience laughter)

  • It's so (beep) that your eyes bolt out of your head

  • cause it sucks so bad.

  • You get to be on Earth and look at (beep).

  • As long as you're not blind or whatever it is,

  • (audience laughter) you get to be here,

  • you get to eat food.

  • You get to put bacon in your mouth.

  • I mean (audience laughter)

  • when you have bacon in your mouth,

  • it doesn't matter who's president or anything.

  • You just, ahhhh.

  • (audience laughter)

  • Ahhhhh.

  • Every time I'm eating bacon,

  • I think, I could die right now

  • and I mean it.

  • That's how good life is.

  • that I kept trying

  • and I learned how to write jokes

  • and I just had jokes.

  • Kind of funny thoughts.

  • About, I don't know,

  • 15 years later,

  • (audience laughter)

  • I had been going in a circle that didn't take me anywhere.

  • Nobody gave a (beep) who I was,

  • and I didn't either.

  • I honestly didn't.

  • I used to hear my acts and go,

  • this is (beep) and I hate it.

  • But I been doin this for 15 years

  • and stopping now is like getting out of prison.

  • Like what do you do after 15 years of standup comedy?

  • How do you reenter the workforce?

  • (audience laughter)

  • So I was in a really bad place.

  • I hated my act.

  • I'd been doing the same hour of comedy for 15 years,

  • and it was (beep).

  • I promise you.

  • And I was working places like Chinese restaurants.

  • So this is (audience laughter)

  • I was.

  • I'd do a show in a Chinese restaurant

  • where they don't even know there's a show going to happen.

  • They're there to eat,

  • and all of sudden you go, hey everybody

  • and people are like, I'm eating.

  • I don't want to be forced to sit in, uggghhh.

  • So I was doing a Chinese restaurant called

  • The Kowloon in Boston,

  • in Saugus, Massachusetts.

  • And I was sitting in my car after the show

  • just feeling like I'd,

  • this was all a big mistake.

  • I'm not good enough.

  • And I felt like my jokes were a trap.

  • And I listened to a CD of George

  • talking about comedy and workshopping it

  • and talking about it seriously.

  • And the thing that blew me away about this fellow

  • was that he just kept putting out specials.

  • Every year, there'd be a new George Carlin special,

  • a new George Carlin out

  • and they just kept coming.

  • And each one was deeper than the next,

  • and I just thought, how can he do that?

  • And it made me literally cry that

  • I could never do that.

  • I was telling the same jokes for 15 years.

  • So I'm listening and they ask him,

  • how do you do all this material?

  • And I'm like, ehh ...

  • And I hear him and he says,

  • well I just decided every year

  • I'd be working on that year's special.

  • And I'd do the special and then

  • I'd just chuck out the material.

  • And I start again with nothing.

  • And I thought, that's crazy.

  • How do you throw away?

  • It took me 15 years to build this (beep) hour.

  • (audience laughter)

  • If I throw it away, I got nothin.

  • But he gave me the courage to try.

  • And also, I was desperate.

  • What the fuck else was I going to do?

  • (audience laughter)

  • This idea that you throw everything away

  • and you start over again.

  • And I thought, well okay.

  • When you're done telling jokes

  • about airplanes and dogs,

  • and you throw those away,

  • what do you got left?

  • You can only dig deeper.

  • Start talking about your feelings and who you are.

  • And then you do those jokes,

  • and they're gone.

  • You got to dig deeper,

  • so then you start thinkin about your fears

  • and your nightmares

  • and doin jokes about that,

  • and then they're gone.

  • And then you start going into just weird (beep).

  • Yeah, eventually you get to your balls.

  • But there's a whole

  • (audience laughter)

  • it's a process that I watched him do my whole life

  • and I started to try to do it.

  • And I started to think, what do I,

  • cause he says whatever he wants.

  • What do I really want to say

  • that I'm afraid to say?

  • And at the time I was a father.

  • I am still a father.

  • (audience laughter)

  • But at the time

  • I didn't start,

  • I didn't take off yet.

  • Jury's out.

  • My oldest is eight.

  • I could still split.

  • So far I'm still there.

  • I was having a hard time being a father

  • and I wanted to say it on stage.

  • And one night I thought,

  • forget all the old jokes.

  • I'm going to start again.

  • And I thought of first thing,

  • I said I can't have sex with my daught-

  • with my daughter.

  • With my wife because we have a baby

  • and our baby's a (beep) (beep).

  • It's just what I was feeling

  • and I said it

  • and the audience went, whoa!

  • And I thought, oh,

  • I'm somewhere new now.

  • And I said

  • (audience laughter)

  • And I said something like,

  • I never used to get babies in the garbage,

  • but now I understand it.

  • (audience laughter) And they did that.

  • And I thought,

  • I'd rather have that

  • than the (beep) laughter from my 15 year old jokes.

- I'm definitely a comedian.
