Few if any teenagers can relate to getting up for school and finding famous comics like Pryor and Williams hanging out in your living room after a hard night of partying. But that's Hollywood.
I was one of the first veejays to take the camera out on location, and that's what was unique about MTV at that time.
My mom and dad are both in stand-up comedy, so that's where I started, that's where I got everything. My roots are holding the mic.
When you're a kid, all you really care about are Slurpees and Slip N Slide and riding your bike, and that's what I did.
Comedy wasn't something I chose - it chose me.
Everywhere I go, people know who I am.
I'm definitely a lot more comfortable now in my 40s than in my 30s - that's for sure.
My 20s were a time where I made it; my 30s were when I was away, confused, and trying to figure it all out.
I miss working with great actors, working with great directors.
I giggle when I put myself down. It's just funny to me.
I think you gotta look at stuff half-full as opposed to half-empty.
I fly around with chicks on each arm and have no script. I just talk about what I feel like. But that's why my act works: I'm like this normal guy.
I really don't go out every night to red-carpet events.
I miss that process of getting the script and reading it and working on it. Every actor has their own way of memorizing their lines, and the whole process of starting to work with the other actors and the director, and doing rehearsals, and going to the location, and going through wardrobe.
