I love to be busy and be challenged. I'm my happiest when I'm under pressure and almost overwhelmed by how much I have to get done.
I liked comedy, but didn't know it was something you could do for a living. I actually wanted to be an attorney.
I don't know if I was always an open person, but I think stand-up comics specifically have this way of running towards embarrassing things - whereas regular people tend to run away - because the embarrassing story is always going to be the really funny story.
I have one girlfriend who is dating right now - she's divorced - and she's on Tinder, so we play Tinder. I know that's not a real game, but it's my favorite thing to do.
I'm just going to be the best version of me that I could possibly be and be as funny as I possibly can. I've just got to be myself and hopefully people will find me. And my audience did find me.
So much of a stand-up's life is doing live radio and having to be funny and quick on the spot with these strangers, and sort of surgical in terms of how funny I can be in three minutes.
I like grown up comedy.
I really do know football.
I'm black, and black don't crack. It does droop.
I am absolutely a Giants fan and I'm a Dynasty baby so I was a 49ers fan for a long time.
I'm sure I had low-level scurvy all of my childhood.
No one wants to hear about how awesome you were; people want to hear about the time you blew it. So I think the longer you do stand-up, the more comfortable you are. You stop wanting to hide your foibles and instead want to show who you are.
Maybe the nails are a little stubby and gnawed on, but I definitely do not have man hands.
On general principle, I boycott shows that don't employ actors.
