I get called all kinds of things - an investigative comedian, a comedian activist - I've lost track of what my job title is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been called a lot of things.
The one guiding principle over my 23-year career in TV has been as long as I'm having fun, I really don't care what the job title is.
I became a specialist at comedic one-liners.
As a comedian, I found this thing, this profession, that suits my mind and life force. To drop it to do something else? I just don't get that.
I was stuck in the benefits of being a known comedian.
I really moved through my career based on curiosity about something. I never looked at a title and said, 'I want that.'
I make funny videos. I hate saying I'm a comedian because then people stick their finger in your face and demand you tell a joke. But the other thing people call me is 'a YouTube sensation,' which is even worse.
If I wanted to take a more activist or journalistic slant in work, I should probably just go be an activist or a journalist. But I'm happy being a comedian.
Sometimes people say I'm a political comedian, which, actually I'm not. I'm a comedian who sometimes discusses politics, culture - again, the word 'politics' to me is just life.
My first job in television was on 'My So-Called Life.'
