When I did Comic Relief, I did it to be on the show; it's a badge of honor as a comedian to do that show.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being a stand-up comic, this isn't a stepping-stone for me; it's what I do, and this is what I'm always going to do. And even if I do a TV show, the only reasons to do a TV show is to get more people to know me to come out to my stand-up shows.
I was considered by my peers to be a good comedian. So that's all I ever strived to do was get some recognition from my peers.
I really loved what I was doing being creative and being funny as a stand-up comedian.
I'm not a comedian, but I do make people laugh. I'm good at it.
I'm a stand-up comic. Anything else I do besides that is a plus, but stand-up comedy is what I do, it's what I've been doing and it's what I'm going to keep doing.
I was stuck in the benefits of being a known comedian.
It seemed to me you could do anything in comics. So I started doing my thing, which is mainly influenced by novelists, stand-up comedians, that sort of thing.
I don't know what's going on that I'm hosting the Emmys during really hard times. But I guess it's an honor and a privilege that I'm the one who gets to try to walk that line of making people feel good.
I spent 25 years as a stand-up comedian.
People come to my shows on purpose as opposed to coming to a 'comedy show.' Which was always my goal.
