I do cagefight commentary in my spare time.
From Joe Rogan
After this whole acting thing is over and done, you eventually have to be human. Some people are never human. It's very weird.
Comedy is really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title.
Dick Gregory was a great comedian who went and got arrested, did hunger strikes, protests. It never hurt his career to be outspoken.
I had a great time on News Radio, I got to make tons of money in relative obscurity and learn a lot about the TV biz and work on my standup act constantly. It was a dream gig.
I'm a huge Groucho fan. There were some great comic minds that would transfer into any generation, and Groucho is certainly one of them.
It never hurt Lenny Bruce's career to get arrested for swearing. It did back in the time, but he broke those doors down by doing the stuff that he believed in.
My act is so completely and totally uncensored that the only way I could really pull it off is if I treat the audience like they're my best friends.
Richard Pryor is, in my mind, the most honest comedian. He bared his soul to people. I think that's why everybody loved him so much.
The Comedy Store in LA, it's a really loose room and it's really dark and creepy and a great place to explore your own thoughts onstage.
