00:00:46
she just fun to talk to we talked all about her beginnings and the psychology of trying to be a standup and then of
00:00:52
course a lot about the roast that is still matriculating around the culture they don't do them that often this one
00:00:58
was considered the Great called the greatest roast of all time so it's it's smarter than to call it that because
00:01:04
then if you go hey did you see the greatest roast of all time they go oh was it okay and then the next one would be the real greatest H but it was that
00:01:11
was a big thing and she uh absolutely destroyed got the first dny Novation in

00:02:33
what's the state tax are you taxed in your native state I would never know that I live I live in Missouri and I
00:02:40
rent an apartment and I don't own a home I don't own a car I don't have kids um
00:02:46
but I do spend a lot of money to see Taylor Swift and stuff like that and I eat out for every meal you don't have a
00:02:52
car so you just Uber everywhere I I have my I bought my mom a car and then I took
00:02:57
her car and so I'm driving my mom's car I paid for it that's a great present just keep
00:03:04
taking it back how are your parents around my mom's old car oh how are your parents handling having a famous
00:03:12
daughter who's really successful how are they oh how does that they're famous Dana she's there on her Instagram well
00:03:19
my my parents there were five kids and so tons of pictures on the refrigerator and then as I got more and more
00:03:26
successful eventually it was just all me and I said Mom what are you doing so it
00:03:32
would did she have initions or your mom or dad to be in in Theater Arts um my
00:03:38
dad is a musician and plays around St Louis in um grocery stores and different
00:03:44
like uh bars don't lowball him like that I know he feels he hates when I start
00:03:49
with grocery stores but mainly is grocer but he's really he's a great
00:03:55
musician he just he just wanted a family and uh safety so he chose like career in
00:04:00
um cable which was safe for many years until he got out right after he got out
00:04:06
and then yeah yeah yeah so it was so he took the safe route and then I he really
00:04:12
believed in me and always supported me I knew when I first like started it was going to take I I said eight years
00:04:18
before I wouldn't depend on them to like help me out a little bit here and there and it was like eight years on the day
00:04:24
where I didn't need them anymore where I got that first check that kind of made it so parents nor warn but in your own
00:04:32
mind I can talk for David or me it's like it didn't seem like a a risk uh I I
00:04:38
was like well I'm just gonna try this I mean were you one like oh maybe I should have a plan B and be a junior high
00:04:44
school my plan B was like kill myself someday I mean honestly like that was kind of like I was like I guess I'll
00:04:49
just I don't know what I'll do if I don't find an inn some way because I tried all the other ends I tried acting
00:04:55
I tried singing and um and no one cared to hear any more of that and I I mean I
00:05:00
wanted to go to theater school and be like an actress and then I couldn't even get booked like in my high school play I
00:05:05
was always like you know in the Diary of an Frank I was Jewish towns person B and that was my senior year of like this is going to be my role and so I was getting
00:05:13
all the feedback that I did not have it Frank that's not Town person B I thought
00:05:18
that's her plan B was just a pill Plan B that was right that's the only plan B
00:05:25
we've heard I but did you guys have a plan B like was there did you even I
00:05:30
think that's part of why I was successful is that I didn't even there was just no chance that it wasn't going to happen maybe I let that thought in
00:05:36
for 20 minutes of my whole time struggling maybe I just it never even occurred I feel like I I hear about like
00:05:43
Jim Carrey and and and manifesting stuff and I don't I think I unintentionally manifested this career because I never
00:05:49
let in a thought that it wouldn't happen well I think that's good I mean for me it was like I think after a few years I
00:05:55
don't know the eras of Comedy booming but at some point I was averaging 5 to
00:06:01
600 a month uh $50 gig $25 birthday party so then I was like in those days
00:06:08
too bad for the younger generation I could that was my job so now this is my job I was a before this and a damn good
00:06:16
one yeah yeah love tabl too this my job so then
00:06:22
then I just went wherever but I just thought if this is what I do to make money on planet Earth this would be a
00:06:27
good way to go yeah even if it stayed at that level you me you mean yeah what a waiter I always said a waiter's wage and
00:06:34
now it be like 2,000 a month 2500 a month probably yeah yeah yeah my overhead like you Nikki
00:06:40
when you start any everyone when they start is a minimal overhead so I quit
00:06:46
too early I was in Arizona state but I was working at a clothing store and I
00:06:51
was also quit and I quit because I was making 80 a week I was making four gigs
00:06:57
that are $20 a pop and I was like I feel like got this because I I wasn't but I
00:07:02
and then I got out of school my mom was like godamn I'm like listen I wanted to be a radio DJ because that was the only
00:07:09
other thing you could sleep in and then maybe do the afternoon shift and it didn't seem that hard but I thought I
00:07:14
can't have everything was too tough school started to get hard I got distracted by standup so if what were
00:07:20
you studying to be were you in school to be something it was not it was a little
00:07:25
early on cuz I was still like an anthropology and things it didn't matter but it was to ultimately be in
00:07:31
advertising cuz my dad was and my brother Andy was okay that makes sense and advertising is the the thing that
00:07:37
you go okay if I that was always my fall back too I was like because it's creative but apparently it's even more
00:07:43
soulless than what we like it's apparently it's you're so creative all day and it's sometimes fun but it's like you're ultimately just trying to
00:07:49
manipulate people with your art and that's got to be kind of depressing which we is what we are doing a lot of
00:07:55
times as well like so we've asked people this before but like okay your first set
00:08:01
yeah yeah and and where was it in the the day of the first set that you know
00:08:08
you're course it was good right because none of us is always good again do you know how many comedians that would be
00:08:14
like just Legends right now that just had a rough first set and couldn't IM couldn't even imagine how good it feels
00:08:20
to have a good set cuz that is what keeps you coming back is that memory of the the good one no amount of bad ones make you forget it and Chase it but um
00:08:27
yeah of course it was good um it was at uh University of Colorado as my freshman year and I was like really uh not doing
00:08:35
well mentally I was I had an eating disorder I was like on death's door literally I I was about to die um and I
00:08:42
was praying to die because it's just a miserable life you you don't eat you can't eat because that's part of the disease you're hungry all the time
00:08:49
you're cold no one wants to be friends with you because they think you're like on a diet trying to look hot even though like that's the last thing you're trying
00:08:55
to do you're just like stuck it's like it's the [ __ ] worst it's having a a terminal illness and everyone blaming
00:09:01
you for it and thinking that you chose it because you want to be hot it's like it sucks choosing to be hot yeah well it
00:09:08
because it starts that way right like you get you do a diet and it kind of works you get some attention and then I went as I do [ __ ] but I just couldn't
00:09:15
I went bananas and didn't even eat one of those a week and and just uh like it
00:09:22
and so I was really good at it but then it got really bad I was hospitalized and stuff so was I went off to school to like get away from my parents who were
00:09:28
like monitoring what I was up to with not eating and it was already my plan to
00:09:33
go out of state for school but then I caught this eating disorder between deciding to go out of state and leaving
00:09:39
for it and um I was hospitalized during the summer at home it's it's a it's
00:09:45
rough but I tricked them all got out was like I'll eat enough and I'll go to school I'll be a responsible all the doctors are telling my parents she's
00:09:51
going to die if she goes there like there's no question I was like yes like let me this is hell I don't even know
00:09:56
how to get out of this I don't want to get out of it like it's just it's [ __ ] but then um because I looked so scary
00:10:02
this is my theory because I looked so scary and no one wanted to be my friend
00:10:07
um I just became like loud and like funny and like told stories and and Vol like you know when we're introducing
00:10:13
ourselves around the dorm or at the sorority I was like rushing a sorority um I looked like a skeleton like it was
00:10:20
crazy and but I just was so funny that people started forgetting the way I looked and wanting to be friends with me or I just yeah and I'd never done that
00:10:27
before I never needed to do that before I kind of just always wanted to be not noticed but at this point I was so noticeable by the way I looked I
00:10:33
couldn't not get ahead of it and then that was when I started hearing like you should be a comedian and I was like huh
00:10:39
like is that what what I don't I I knew about standup but I didn't pay attent it wasn't I liked SNL I liked Seinfeld I
00:10:45
liked friends I liked Conan that was like the pillars of my OBS comedy Obsession but I didn't get into standup
00:10:52
and then I um I like Googled it in my dorm room and was like is it true you were inspired by John Benet
00:11:00
and her early success Ser I didn't put it the joke in my special which is coming out May 11th May 11th what's the
00:11:07
name of it um HBO it's called someday you'll die and um it's Saturday May 11th
00:11:13
so it's already out now by I think the time this is aing but um so just go check it out HBO someday you'll die and
00:11:19
I but I cut it from the special but I had too many jokes about like wanting pretty girls to die and so I had I had
00:11:26
to lose one of them so it was you know the joke is a true story I've always been like insecure always wanting to be
00:11:33
the center of attention not knowing how to like get it um I feel like that's faded as I get older and realize it's
00:11:39
not that fun um but initially I was always like who who doesn't want to be famous like do you guys relate to that
00:11:44
like your friends in high school or middle school but mine were like not really we don't really care about being
00:11:51
famous and I'm like what is that everything I think now I mean a younger
00:11:57
generation because everyone is famous in their own way with Instagram all that but I I said this to Jerry SF I checked
00:12:04
with my wife once a year I go honey did I ever say I wanted to be rich and
00:12:09
famous ever really early and she said no because I was just trying to win the
00:12:14
club embar you I was trying to get to the middle and then get to the headline I was just thinking like that it was too
00:12:20
abstract that I would be famous too crazy that I could be on TV and it hurt me in a lot of ways throughout my career
00:12:26
I never was able to really take it in you know so Dana what motivated you was just being like becoming a headliner
00:12:33
like that was the F like I just want to be able to make a living a good living a decent living doing standup and making
00:12:38
people laugh yeah and I came from a track and field uh cross country background so I was also really really
00:12:46
competitive but not in a nasty way but when Rob Williams was there initially
00:12:51
and then he left to do morid Mindy when he came back which I said many times I don't know he would levitate the room as
00:12:58
I call it yeah it looked like he wasn't trying it was explosive I just thought well there's a standard yeah so I kept
00:13:04
saying I've got to get more intense and I was I was horrible I would have one
00:13:10
you know joke after like a five minute setup for you know like yeah I see a short setup and then a lot of you know
00:13:16
it took me a long time did you you figured it out I mean so quickly you're
00:13:22
you got to level uh yeah I mean but relative like like you had it from being
00:13:28
like bomb wildly on stage to figuring out how to elicit the kind of laughs Rober Williams gets and you figured it
00:13:34
out and um but that's so interesting to me to cuz there there is a difference
00:13:39
like I think the for me being famous is just like being loved you know like it sounds vapid but it's like it at its
00:13:45
core it's just like I just want love and acceptance I want to be able to survive in the world because people like me
00:13:52
already you know it's just a survival Instinct so it's s i I hate I want to take some vapidity away from it because
00:13:58
it feels like I just want everyone to like is that even word I just want everyone to you
00:14:04
know um I like that you're already you're already walking in a room and we
00:14:09
have the benefit where people know you and have mostly a positive opinion or at least you're not scary at least when you
00:14:16
walk up to people or you say oh your kids are cute they don't think you're a psychopath they're like oh this guy or
00:14:22
any situation you can say hi to people or you can and they kind of are off guard already they're not like hey [ __ ]
00:14:29
don't to me well doesn't that make sense in an evolutionary standpoint of like
00:14:34
wanting the whole tribe to know who you are and care about keeping you around because and and having some stake in
00:14:41
your existence I mean it's it it comes from uh it makes sense where it comes from but Dana I think I also have that
00:14:47
in me too that competitive nature that I didn't I I didn't know because I think I'm the same way of like I'm not like
00:14:54
throwing a you know remote control if I lose a a video game kind of angry compet
00:14:59
but I am I am viciously comp and you realize that when you do things like the roast which is like I was just thinking
00:15:06
about this this is like the day after two days after the roast and like immediately you walk off stage and
00:15:11
everyone's like this was the best this was the second best this was the like it is a ranking thing and I'm like oh my God that's why I like roastes because I
00:15:17
want to I finally found a way in comedy to like compete and in a way that I feel
00:15:23
comfortable competing like I can't compete maybe in other ways in comedy um but and I don't look at like going up
00:15:28
with this store against people as a competition but this is like you have five minutes everyone's doing the same
00:15:33
thing it's the same task and who's the best and yeah brings out that nature the real thing is you have five minutes
00:15:39
everyone's doing 23 it's so true oh my God I texted you
00:15:45
during the roast I go is everyone going [ __ ] long or what's going on here well it was interesting they told us
00:15:51
like you know football players are getting three minutes Bell's getting two you know and then you're getting you're
00:15:57
getting six you're getting Andrew getting six Jeff's getting six um and uh and everyone went over because the
00:16:03
laughs you don't you don't account for the laughs at The Forum but I will say they were like I thought they were going
00:16:08
to be a lot more strict about you can't do this uh you know you can't say this and but get this I'm sitting so I have
00:16:15
my set like I'm down to the wire right I've been working for a month on perfecting every [ __ ] word every
00:16:21
transition everything makes sense finally get it down submit it I'm and I
00:16:26
mean like under the wire then rush to the red carpet out of the red carpet I go I do I have time to go to prompter to see what this [ __ ] looks like even
00:16:32
read through the prompter in the prompter room all the comedians all the people on the Das are in the room so I'm
00:16:37
like can they get be like so I'm reading through Kevin's behind me I'm like Kevin Hart will you not look at but he
00:16:43
couldn't see over everyone's shoulders anyway so it didn't [ __ ] matter so I was like I was can you raise the Monitor and so he um so I'm reading through I
00:16:52
like um and then and then rushed right on stage I sit down Kevin comes up to do
00:16:57
his set first open and he does one of my jokes Classic Roast situation do you
00:17:05
think he saw it on the prompter or oh my God I'm that setup sounded like I thought he stole no no no yeah no sorry
00:17:11
about that parallel development yes obviously and um but I was just like how
00:17:16
did they not catch this but the truth is like the writing team is getting jokes last minute Kevin chose his jokes very
00:17:22
last minute they're entering them in no one crosschecked it so his joke is that Tom Brady got out of his divorce and
00:17:29
he's been [ __ ] around town so much his dick has CTE and mine was about masturbating to him to research for this
00:17:35
and my my [ __ ] has CTE and but I but on mine I have like a tag that I'm like
00:17:40
okay that kind of that makes it different so I'll just blow past the fact that I do the same joke but I'm also like At first I'm just my face I
00:17:47
can't even I'm on camera but I'm like how do you get it off the prompter that I mean during the show you can't get it
00:17:52
off the prompter right it's a live show there's no producer to call we're on stage already set there's I don't have
00:17:57
I'm like do I talk into my la do think maybe someone hears me I don't have an in the ear to hear if they hear me Jeff
00:18:02
come Jeff Ross who's a producer comes and sits down next to me I go I have the same joke Kevin just did and I can't
00:18:08
take it out of the prompter the prompter guy is not going to build I haven't worked with him enough to hey if I do
00:18:13
this just go to the next one I had it set so then I'm looking at one of my friends who's in the front row and she
00:18:19
knows my set backwards and forwards and I go and she's like dear and headlights look too and I go what do I do and she's
00:18:27
just like looking at the carpet cuz we're trying to think of another joke that will fit coming out of Tom you were on my fantasy team last night and then
00:18:33
transition after the CTE like into something CTE without saying it like can
00:18:38
you jump the line without the prompter freaking out and blowing your no but that's the thing I'm like I don't think
00:18:44
I can't because I'm like I don't even know and then I and it would ruin my flow entirely if I stopped and go hey
00:18:49
can you and then I go okay maybe I'll just say the joke and go um that would have gotten better had it not been
00:18:56
already set like address it but then that's like do I need I've never performed for even this big of a crowd before it's at the Forum so it's like I
00:19:02
don't know the Dynamics of the sound and what people like and so but then I did the math on it I was like okay there's
00:19:09
enough time between me and that joke that they might reset like they'll subconsciously knows that isn't as funny
00:19:15
as it would have been without hearing it but maybe they they won't be able to place it I think so I mean I just
00:19:22
noticed it and I I went oh oh well head didn't talk to the tail that was just
00:19:27
and there was going to be yeah no be like she stole that other people talking about how beautiful Tom Brady is how
00:19:34
attractive he is and stuff like that or is he gay so how do you can you not have overlap there's going to be bumps
00:19:41
definitely and I was surprised that there weren't more like when I submit because after that happened it was one of his first jokes and so the rest of
00:19:46
the time I'm watching his the teleprompter like where else like how what am I going to do like it was just
00:19:51
that moment of you know live TV which obviously you guys are used to where it's like you're I got to make a
00:19:57
decision and let's just see if I know the right one but you you have the best line of the night which was I thought it
00:20:04
was the most clever it was hard-hitting it would but that it really made me laugh out loud and that was how does it
00:20:11
feel I won't want him say that when he he can kick your ass while he eats eat
00:20:18
yeah eat oh thank you yeah yeah I'd say that I talk about Tom Brady um now Jazelle his ex-wife is dating a
00:20:24
jiu-jitsu instructor I was like that's got to hurt knowing your uh ex-wife's new boyfriend could beat your ass while
00:20:30
eating hers I like you you like that cuz I was like oh can I even say that poor Jazelle
00:20:37
it's so outrageous but it was constructed really well and you said hers you didn't say ask twice there was
00:20:43
a reason it was palatable thank you that really means a lot um well I I I'll just
00:20:49
tell you point blank it doesn't matter that you're on the thing right I I thought you won the night you saw how Kevin Hart react if if there is a
00:20:56
competition there isn't he was a good reactor though he really did give it up to you you know
00:21:01
me me not no money line and all that I mean he sincerely in that moment was giving it up to like that's how it's
00:21:08
done it doesn't get any better so you must have felt good after that I mean amazing because you guys know like that
00:21:16
we are all kind of in competition sometimes and for another comedian like Kevin Hart Who definitely has achieved
00:21:21
that level of success by making things about him and probably not making it about other people and shining the light on them that's how you get there to use
00:21:28
that time to break I mean he he literally went up and was like quoting people's jokes just saying them again he
00:21:34
literally after after I got a standing ovation which I didn't even know about he goes I want everyone in the in case you didn't see it at home Nikki got a
00:21:41
standing ovation to give me that like he did I know why he was doing that because he wants to build me up it wasn't so
00:21:48
that people actually it was it was designed that way and I thanked him afterwards and I said I know you did you didn't need to be as generous with you
00:21:54
know the laughter and and and saying things after as you did and he was he did it for everyone and it was it was an
00:22:00
example of what I want to like be more like in this business it made it more fun it made it very likable too yeah
00:22:07
it's it's the wayon you know when you go on his show when you do stand up on his show he comes which is terrifying and it
00:22:14
kind you kind of do you don't go up cold but you're coming back from a commercial break it's obviously it's like all of a sudden this person just standing there
00:22:20
who's no one seen it's like a kind of going up cold a little bit for an audience but he comes out before warms
00:22:25
them up tells them I love this girl so much like even if he doesn't and then he is like cackling at his desk and and
00:22:32
just his silhouette moving he probably isn't even making any sound but he's giving us that and the audience is
00:22:37
watching him to decide how to feel about me subconsciously it's the way that um I
00:22:43
feel about YouTube comments which I hate so much I hate that everyone gets to just comment on things all the time and
00:22:49
David I always when I talk about this I always say how you um you told me that the Hollywood what minute what was it
00:22:57
show yeah Hollywood on SNL was the only time like like celebrities got roasted
00:23:03
or like kind of got made fun of or ridiculed directly like that it was all People magazine and all everything was
00:23:09
like fawning fawning faing yeah but that was the only place for it in the 90s
00:23:15
like and look at it now we that that seems insane that that would be the like it's it didn't exist angry mob yeah and
00:23:22
so YouTube comments are constantly there to tell you how to feel about a video like even I'm a pretty Savvy consumer
00:23:29
and I feel like you know I want to watch content and think really make my own decision about how I feel about this and not be influenced but then a little
00:23:35
YouTube comment pops up and if it's like you know if it's one of if it's fly on thewall or whatever commenting like one
00:23:42
of the greatest things I've ever seen and I see a little check mark next to your name even if I don't know what it is I'm like oh someone with a check mark
00:23:48
thinks this the best thing I like I like this more no matter what I just do even
00:23:53
me who knows that it's trying to get me to like it so that's what uh I think it's detrimental when it's negative but
00:24:00
when Kevin kind of co-signed it really I think that's why um there's been this
00:24:05
fervor afterwards that I've never felt in my career before of people being like you had a standing ovation you were the
00:24:11
best one I'm like thank you Kevin Hart I mean I I did well but that really that boost helps so
00:24:22
much it's hard to have no glitches it's hard to go through a set it's hard to go later I when they introduced you said
00:24:28
[ __ ] yeah she's got to go soon because Andrew Schultz who's great and by the time they got to him I forgot he was
00:24:33
going on I'm like oh my God he's still he's got to follow every joke and he still did great I told him I said you if
00:24:41
we swap sets this could be a different conversation cuz he's like you did the best don't even [ __ ] try to tell me I
00:24:47
did too and and he's being very sweet but I go but we know it was about they didn't have any juice left and we were 2
00:24:53
hours into a show I couldn't believe how well Tom Brady did 3 hours into a show I was like but it was a good time all
00:25:01
around who did you guys in your career like do you feel were there any moments
00:25:06
where someone went out of their way to vouch for you or say you're funny that is like stands out to you I know you have tons
00:25:12
but well uh for me um I guess Brad gray uh and Bernie
00:25:20
Burstein they were um they just championed me I had other managers and
00:25:27
people didn't get me I I was sort of a a cutesy guy I didn't look like a comedian I did a lot of weird uh sitcoms because
00:25:34
I didn't know that I'd be on alive in three years you know whoa really they were the first ones that said yeah you
00:25:42
you yeah you you've got it and and directed you towards SNL and that kind of thing were they the ones that say
00:25:48
this is where you belong yes and Bernie managed Lauren Michaels he was Bernie
00:25:53
was Lauren's manager got it and we were all in the ecosystem there so it was a lot of luck but uh just want for a
00:26:01
second being competitive like Kevin Hart I'm sure is maybe he's like who can get to a billion or whatever is a separate
00:26:07
lane from generosity yeah and being you know it's like I could imagine you meeting a version of yourself who's like
00:26:14
22 in the clubs and you you catch something good about and her Harding
00:26:20
her you just make sure well just to be honest you probably would squash her um
00:26:25
and the amount of time I've been doing it versus yeah yeah and you pull out the tricks uh and
00:26:33
then the Baton uh yeah I I'm that's I was Ty like the Jean Benet story that I
00:26:39
didn't get like I'm threatened by girls who are like younger and prettier and and I can see potential in them like of
00:26:45
course I want them to go away and to get you know get a boy like you know Britney
00:26:50
Murphy out I hate to I'm making obviously a joke but I want them to get a boyfriend who controls them and then
00:26:55
they don't get to succeed and be and reach their potential there's a secret deep part of me that yes because when if
00:27:01
they to me it's a survival of the fittest and if she's out there then that's one less spot for me and and
00:27:06
people say there's room enough for everyone but there is a threshold for how many people people can know so there
00:27:13
you can say it all day everyone can be famous but we don't not everyone can there is a threshold so there is a spot
00:27:19
if someone goes another spot opens up and but now I fight that disgusting part
00:27:24
of my brain that is so jealous and so uh critical and when I I challenge myself
00:27:29
every time I get threatened by a girl on Instagram like I see a clip of a young hot girl and she's being hilarious like Katherine blanford or uh what is her
00:27:36
name Caroline benowitz these two like cute blonde hilarious girls and I'm just
00:27:42
like what the [ __ ] and I just want them to not be funny so bad I'm watching it like please don't be funny and it is cuz
00:27:48
it is every time cuz they're just naturally hilarious in a way that I feel like I'm not I now instead of when I
00:27:54
feel like go away [ __ ] I I posted on my Instagram story and I say this girl's hilarious I just like I have to do it
00:28:01
it's my rule for myself to like fight that because that people did that to me
00:28:07
early on in my career and tried to like you know uh get me cancelled in different clubs and and told people I
00:28:13
was sleeping with comedians to get stage time and I was like a virgin I didn't even I was scared of sex and I was
00:28:19
suddenly like this [ __ ] that was blowing people disgusting comics for stage time um and it it was it really
00:28:26
held me back I had to like move out of my home Club town because it was like no one respected me and everyone thought I
00:28:31
was stealing jokes from guys I like that move still works it's like she's a [ __ ] it's like this sounds like like Works
00:28:37
through the history of time yeah and it just everyone's like what and and she
00:28:43
was these guys were right she's blowing poly Shore and he's writing for her and I was I was like I don't know which I
00:28:49
should be more insulted by not because Paulie's hilarious but like that how could you think he could
00:28:56
write these jokes for me and that I would trust him to write to my voice like it was just like it was it so I try
00:29:02
to just do the opposite even though they're absolutely I res I really relate to that bully the person you know the
00:29:07
people that even bullied me what is is the phrase rumormonger is that the phrase people who cultivate rumors to
00:29:14
destroy people it's it's easy to do isn't it like sh Shan Frey you know the
00:29:20
German word joy in your friends failures so that we all we all are five year okay
00:29:27
we're all 10 years old inside so there is all those reflexes you know it's like Toy Story there's a new kid in town you
00:29:33
know all that the next Nicky Glazer it's instinctual you're being replaced
00:29:39
there's someone younger they get more attention they're more fertile like these are all the things I talk about in my special but yeah it it makes sense
00:29:46
like I remember um what was I just going to say the oh but when um the My bully
00:29:52
in my hometown like who really devastated me and I really did have to leave town because she got all of my
00:29:58
friend Comics against me like my club that I started at like I just couldn't get stage time because she convinced
00:30:03
everyone I was a a a hack [ __ ] and so um that's the title of your next
00:30:10
special hack wh I think that's like the Japanese translation of my of the one
00:30:16
that's out now that's your poster that's the poster in
00:30:22
Tokyo but what I remember um uh I had told Amy Schumer was uh we were dear
00:30:29
friends at and we were talking about and she knew all about her and oh we both hated this girl and we're like oh you
00:30:34
know what you this is going to drive you just succeed and I finally got to a place where I was doing really well and I remember texting Amy one day like I
00:30:41
found out she's pregnant and I was kind of like oh she's like got a husband and a boyfriend and Amy just goes you won
00:30:48
and I was like oh you're right we're not going to hear much from her now um so
00:30:53
yeah that's my new thing is wishing girls pregnant you oh wish him to get pregnant
00:30:58
cuz instead of death just pregnancy it buys you some time when we did the roast for robo I
00:31:06
saw Rob yesterday actually we did the roast for robo why did I say that um we uh he because you can't not see him and
00:31:13
go like I'm looking at a perfect yeah it's it's jarring what he looks like I'm sure you never get used to it but yeah
00:31:19
when we were doing the roast it still bothers me it is he my John
00:31:24
BS when I did uh the roast with Nikki that's the only one I've done was for
00:31:31
against roblo or whatever it's called it was roblo roast and then I thought one
00:31:36
of the interesting things I never did it was the respect and quiet Unwritten rule
00:31:42
that regular people don't seem to know when I go to the Improv if Jeff Ross is on stage I don't go in and when they're
00:31:50
practicing roast jokes I saw you the other night you're doing yours the other Comics that are on the road step aside
00:31:56
on their own they go we're not allowed to see each other yep and when you go to the stage Dana they were like that day
00:32:02
I'm going to just look at the prompter Rob low is there and they go we got to get roblo out before you can come in and
00:32:09
everyone's in on it and everyone understands yep oh wait n in there yeah
00:32:14
they just go you're not ready to go in yet and I in my head I go oh Nikki must someone's in there yeah we don't that's
00:32:20
the strange thing I've noticed that and this time around like I'm running into Jeff around town and I'm you're trying
00:32:25
to get a sense of like how hard are we going do with Tom Brady can we me mention Aaron Hernandez can we mention him kissing his kids can we mention
00:32:32
Jazelle even can we mention Bridget moan can we mention him deflating balls like you don't know where the line is so I
00:32:38
got on an early call and I'm like you know what's the vi like you just want to get a sense of other people's jokes to see what's going on you don't know what
00:32:45
they are yeah but you can't because you you wouldn't want anyone to see your jokes so you you am I the one going too
00:32:50
far that's that's the funny part and you hear someone going too far and you're like well now I want to go further now
00:32:55
your whole bar Rises yeah yeah yeah that's what happened to me like a week ago I'm like wait there is an error in
00:33:01
here n this joke like we're going to joke about a guy who hung himself in prison tragically after killing someone because he had CTE which is what all
00:33:07
these guys are going to get on stage eventually like oh we're going there let's okay now there were three of them
00:33:12
right yeah yeah I mean it was yeah there Briget Monahan said something today she
00:33:19
did she said she posted something like uh you know I would never it wasn't it
00:33:25
wasn't saying her but he she said I would never never let people it's really what you think she'd say something like
00:33:31
that's not something I would do I thought we would never do stuff like this yeah about and it was like because she gets dragged into it I think from
00:33:37
one of your jokes yeah but also Jazelle took such a [ __ ] beating that I all I
00:33:43
wanted was her to walk out at the end and get a standing over how cool would that have been I'm sure they tried to
00:33:48
get her but there's no way that would have been so cool in a [ __ ] karate
00:33:54
ghee it's Brazilian white Bel go it's not about the karate lesson yeah
00:34:01
yeah yeah I haven't learned one thing okay I have a question Nikki yeah in in the
00:34:07
room and your Vibe you're looking at Tom you're watching him he's a good sport
00:34:13
they say got mad at Jeff Ross for a second what's your Vibe of how much pain
00:34:19
or not pain he was feeling and how much he was expecting these level of jokes or
00:34:24
was he surprised I could you was down for whatever I mean there was you know we
00:34:31
all agreed not to make fun of his kids in the kissing thing we all were like we
00:34:36
don't want to bring that into it because it you know his kids are in like Middle
00:34:41
School we want them to keep that special between them um and so uh we just decided that
00:34:49
was kind of the that was the only one that I was like Hey we're all kind of collectively not going to do that and I
00:34:54
go okay well there goes half my ACT lit legs so much was about helping the K CU
00:35:01
that was the only thing I knew about him like that was when that video came out I was kind of obsessed with it because my
00:35:06
dad used to kiss me on the lips as a kid and and I had a I bit like it went into my adulthood where I was like we can't
00:35:11
do this any I know we do this as a family and my other friends would be like you guys kiss on the like it I related to it so I had a lot of jokes
00:35:18
about that and then they all went away but um forget what your question was well well did you feel like that he was
00:35:26
like some people might say see that he co-signed for the jaizelle jokes and he had a heads up that where they were
00:35:32
going to go to dude it was so rough well I I couldn't look at him because I felt like he even in there's this clip of me
00:35:39
online that I I'm watching and you he cuts to him and he looks devastated like he looks really shell shock tight smile
00:35:46
tight smile yeah and I thought he would be able to fake it more but I also I'm like oh wow I thought he was going to
00:35:52
know all of our jokes I honestly cuz he's an EP on it so I thought he and he's wants to control things things like
00:35:57
I'm sure he's he's going to deflate some of our jokes by looking at him and you know and and making them more palatable
00:36:03
for him to handle and hold and um but he didn't and he he cuz even when um Jeff
00:36:09
made the Robert Craft joke about like alluding to the happy ending massages he got up and was like no I didn't hear it
00:36:16
happen but I I saw him get up I didn't know what he said but I was on Stern yesterday and he said that he was like no that's too far or something and that
00:36:23
was a real say that [ __ ] again yeah that's what he said yikes I because Jeff
00:36:28
Jeff did sit back down and was like did I C like was that because he tried to hand God's green earth would it be about
00:36:34
that what do you mean why why is he picking that that no because I think
00:36:39
Robert Craft was a hard get to get in that room and Tom probably vouched and said they not going to come after you
00:36:46
you cannot sit in the [ __ ] within a mile radius no but that was that he should have communicated better because
00:36:51
Jeff would have never ever over the line that Tom put down and he would have made it like he wouldn't have ever that
00:36:57
wasn't communicated clearly because Jeff was so like conscious conscious about
00:37:03
yeah it was but he was offended dude I really do think that he didn't expect it but I was checking in with Jeff
00:37:09
beforehand and he was like he's ready to go he wants to do this Full Throttle let's go no holds bar just not the kids
00:37:16
like he can take it and I go jelle and he like yep he can take it I'm like all right I and if you watch if you watch a
00:37:23
Greg Geraldo rast compilation that's all you need to do to watch to know what you're in for like
00:37:28
it's going to be that level cuz we're all watching those and we're all striving for that level of of cringy
00:37:35
Truth and and harshness and yeah and so for him to to ever be surprised at
00:37:41
anything is just bad planning and you didn't and you thought you were impervious to it or something that's insane everything we know about Tom
00:37:48
Brady as an athlete his preparation is perfectionism I you would scream it so
00:37:54
there is a crazy as a fox kind of vibe here oh yeah I mean studying him yeah
00:37:59
well he's very he's more vulnerable he's more human they call him the human robot he's about he sign a $375 million deal
00:38:06
to be in the booth so these little asides and jokes it's all been sort of said out loud in a vicious way so I
00:38:14
think it's a new day in town for him walking down the street because you kind of feels empathy for him there was that
00:38:20
joke he I think it was Kevin Hart you went eight and nine and you lost your wife and kids oh yeah it was worth going
00:38:25
eight and nine for yes there was that too but as far as primality if you talk about the male psyche and the male ego
00:38:32
and what however that went down we don't know yeah but that's a very uh that that
00:38:38
made me empathetic toward him hearing I agree I think I think he didn't think
00:38:43
that angle of like losing your family would be Los family is a rough term it is and um and the truth is he did it
00:38:51
like he wasn't he didn't abandon his kids he's like a great father he that I hope that he was able to just know that
00:38:59
that's not true and wouldn't you not want that out there just the people that casual viewer goes oh he deserves kids
00:39:05
now that's what I know about him like anyone who doesn't we defined who he is now you're so right there this is
00:39:11
opening up a world in which he might face more criticism I do know he didn't go to the Afterparty you know like I
00:39:17
[ __ ] would go cry in the corner he would have water but you know it's divorce with with like a total net worth
00:39:23
between the two of them about a half billions and their kids are living online every day they're 10 and 12 or
00:39:29
something like that so they're seen all these jokes so know but but but then so
00:39:35
this they they're already acclimated it's not out of the blue you know yeah that's a good point I mean it's just
00:39:41
their life and and that was when I I said some Savage joke about the I think the eating ass jizelle joke and which I
00:39:48
was scared to even look towards him but then I was just like you're Tom Brady I just I go you'll be okay I I literally
00:39:56
said that because I'm like you will like it and you did ask for this and if you don't know how it it's interesting cuz I
00:40:03
wonder I'm I'm going on Kimmel later today and my angle is like oh let me read some jokes about me that didn't
00:40:09
make it like there's a writer's room and so many jokes that you know people didn't use about me because I wasn't
00:40:14
people thought you know's there's more important people to talk about I'll read those and so those are coming in right
00:40:20
now and I'm like oh God like and some of them are from my like close friends who were in that room and I'm like you you
00:40:27
see this thing about me that I thought I always saw about myself like I'm having that moment but I think that's I feel
00:40:33
like it's a good move cuz I was going to read roast jokes that didn't make it and just go harder on people and I'm like no
00:40:38
what if I go hard on myself and it kind of give myself that Tom Brady treatment that I just it's hard that's a great idea but
00:40:46
yeah it is sort of like you know what are people perceiving about me that I don't see so gross because you don't
00:40:53
even like they would never like the things we said about Tom Brady wouldn't he you can't even tell him in a you know
00:41:00
on a zoom meeting of like here's the areas that we might go to like no one did that no one even said because there
00:41:07
are things about me I know that I just already read coming in where I'm like I really didn't know anyone thought that
00:41:12
about me like I really thought that was just between me and the mirror when I'm alone you like and so so you can't get
00:41:20
roasted like I I think I asked to be roasted once and it's good money but I thought I could never handle it and
00:41:26
that's why I never did it and I only did it as a host and in the host you're in the crossfire and I think some jokes
00:41:33
about me got traded because we got that last minute addition and it was too
00:41:39
juicy so everyone jumped on an cter oh God yeah she became the punch and later
00:41:46
I was told oh you dodged a few bullets because people switched I'm surprised you did that looking I didn't I wasn't
00:41:53
really friends with you back then but knowing you now um uh I'm so glad did but it was it's brutal it hurts so much
00:42:00
I'm glad that I kind of got brushed over but there was like one one or two jokes about me that afterwards at the
00:42:05
Afterparty I just was kind of a little bit like processing and being like wait why did he write like that was that a
00:42:11
joke or was that from a real place and like yeah yeah it stays with you a little bit so it's you know but it's
00:42:17
worth it because it's the exposure and the if Brady's my friend he has a he's has a shirt on top and underneath he has
00:42:23
a T-shirt and at the end he unbuttons it and it's just all the topics that were
00:42:29
covered jezelle trainer ass so he just goes knew it that would yes knew it but
00:42:37
yeah I wouldn't want to do that I mean the early ones the first one one that was big was it was it Chevy Chase one of
00:42:44
the first The Comedy Central and that one because I don't think Chevy was ready for it I really saw real pain and
00:42:52
real wish I wasn't here I think now people who do it I mean the next celebrity is going to do it come on man
00:42:59
you have to think of the honestly you do you have to know that you're not no one
00:43:04
is immune to it but that's that's kind of like the person we want to get who thinks there's such hot [ __ ] that that
00:43:10
that there's nothing there it's everyone everyone else can be looked at like that but not me and that's that's kind of was maybe was Tom Brady was feeling yeah
00:43:17
that's a good one but um now he knows well Nikki would you rather be this is the problem I thought with the Chevy
00:43:22
Chase one was Don Rickles and those guys in the old days if people know that was the fun roast Dean Martin Frank Sinatra
00:43:28
huge stars and they were little pokes 1970s you know and they were fun pokes they're all friends Chevy Chase I think
00:43:35
it was strangers hired assassins so a guy's like hi uh I'm I'm you know
00:43:41
whoever by the way you're a piece of [ __ ] and now it's too mean because you're like wait who's this guy and so
00:43:47
is it worse from strangers or is it worse from your friends if you were roasting me and it was too mean I
00:43:52
wouldn't even know how to look at you after I would be yeah I felt way worse roasting Jeff Ross and Bert kryer and oh
00:43:59
right you said he was disgusting yeah I said he's disgusting to look at and I was going to lose that joke cuz I'm just
00:44:05
it's so harsh and my friends were being like yeah it's not really you don't even say what he looks like you just say he's
00:44:10
disgusting to look at and I go no but that's why it's funny it's just it's so that's the reason I like that's not the
00:44:16
reason you're it's intentional to be did SE lion uh reference like go back to the
00:44:22
ocean oh that was like the only woman you'll ever make wet is the one who helps roll you back into the ocean was
00:44:27
your line right yeah yeah another great line it's just a great joke it's and then I had to sit back down next to him
00:44:33
and um and and I do love him and I actually do think he looks better like he's looking good reason I love Jeff
00:44:39
Ross and then to tell Bert I like oh I'm such a fan of your joke like I obviously I told Bert later you know I don't feel
00:44:45
that way and and then um but yeah I think it's strangers it's easier to be vicious because I don't know them like I
00:44:51
didn't even meet Tom before the roast so it was way easier to be right to say sociopathic things to him him because I
00:44:57
didn't he's just a person he's a just a person on a page to me like he's not is
00:45:02
Jeff Frost kind of a ladies man or you know yeah he does really he he I met him
00:45:08
once yeah a very young beautiful one with him he's charming and adorable and
00:45:14
yeah it's uh but it felt it felt in the past I I wasn't close with je or I guess
00:45:20
it was five years ago that I did the last one and this time I just I felt a lot I guess I'm growing as a person cuz I felt way worse this time around saying
00:45:27
these jokes than I ever have I really never doing forever you know Tony hinchcliff did a good job coming from
00:45:33
the crowd I think coming from the crowd is a great trick a no one expects anything from him they don't most people
00:45:39
don't know is no bar walks out of the audience like I don't I don't even know what he's doing and I'm a comedian I'm
00:45:46
like where is he coming on to introduce something and then he just casually throws a line about someone then and
00:45:52
people are don't like who is he oh that's kind of funny oh that's pretty funny that's really good then he gets
00:45:57
like Sam J and he does no whatever that one was and then it was like whoa where
00:46:03
Bam Bam Bam and and then that King King King King King Rhythm and he was he was
00:46:11
amazing I was blown away that was like such a a moment for him and yeah to walk while you're doing it it was just yeah
00:46:17
it the the truth is the people who do the best on those are the ones that are just like working the hardest Tony like
00:46:23
we I talking to people afterwards it's like what did you do to prepare this and we were all just so exhausted the ones
00:46:30
the people that really killed just Titan and Titan and start month out startes
00:46:35
and edit thinking about it obsessively working all day long and then running it
00:46:40
around town five times a night I mean I did five sets a night for like uh a week and a half it's not even the same too
00:46:47
because you're like these people aren't on the de you're telling the crowd picture Tom Brady right here picture you
00:46:52
know Tom seor is picture him over there I'm GNA say and they're like okay okay it's not quite the same but you can get
00:46:59
a good feel yes yeah I have to explain to a room at the Laugh Factory at 11:00 p.m. at night which is mostly Armenians
00:47:05
who drew bledo is like so for this joke you need to know he was injured and on
00:47:11
2001 and that's what you know like it's just it's exhausting to to set it up so it was it was fun to go Ahad and do the
00:47:17
rose set for the first time without being like okay guys here's I set the stage um but it's you only but it's just
00:47:24
such a weird set to do just right Tom sitting there is a whole big changes
00:47:30
everything that's how many minutes did you do by the way um I don't know how many it end up being but it was planned
00:47:36
to be it was count it was in the clubs it was seven so at the Forum it was probably like eight eight and a half
00:47:41
with just the the larger laughs but there was like jokes I put in last minute of like wanting to shoot my boyfriend in the [ __ ] face for a
00:47:47
lottery ticket to suck his dick like that was insane and I added that the day before and that was like a highrisk
00:47:53
situation like there were some jokes I was like this isn't even really tested um I don't know if this is going to it's
00:47:58
just I'm so glad it's over I mean don't you guys have those things all the time where it's like so much pressure stress
00:48:05
well it's that kind of pressure I I I did observe you there was a wide shot as the show was starting I oh there's Nikki
00:48:11
and I thought I saw you go big sigh [Music] likeing up you probably could see my
00:48:18
side from a wide shot at the Forum I could see maybe they're panning
00:48:23
over I just saw and I thought that's exactly the frame of mine being like okay here we go it's also be ha ha haa
00:48:30
we have a job to do I I'm this is part of my career this this audience is enormous you don't want to think about
00:48:37
it because the way everything is stratified this is still playing on Netflix it's trending for months yes so
00:48:43
there was you wanted to go ah this isn't important I'm just roasting [ __ ] it but inside you go no this is kind of big
00:48:49
biggest thing I'll ever do it's the Super Bowl of Comedy like the amount of I will never literally I'll never have a
00:48:55
moment in my career like I had yesterday the day after the roast there's nothing I I can do as a comedian hosting SNL
00:49:01
announcing I just had a baby Mar maybe if I like start dating Taylor Swift that's the only amount of text I will
00:49:07
get like this is the scale of this is unprecedented for a comedian like my special will come out I won't even get
00:49:12
this many text it won't ever happen again like this and um so yeah I but I
00:49:17
kind of had a feeling about that so you can't there's other opportunities that I've gone wow I didn't work hard enough I didn't understand the scale of that
00:49:23
and I [ __ ] phoned it in and I'll never do that again but this I just had a feeling this is going to be pretty big
00:49:29
so you got to work hard what was an opportunity where you
00:49:36
felt you founded in I'm just curious oh I well uh recently I did I presented at the um creative arts Emy that was going
00:49:43
to be airing on FXX so I was just like I I had a lot to do that week and I was like I'll just do whatever they write
00:49:49
for me and punch it up and I should have had my own angle John melany Won I'm presenting it to him and like the thing
00:49:55
I did for that was just so not fun like it I it I totally blew it totally blew it and I'm like oh man this would have
00:50:02
this is a room of all like the people in the industry like I squandered it and I go okay lesson that I learned 20 years
00:50:08
in I shouldn't have learned this this late but never like treat these things treat everything at least as try the
00:50:15
best you did because you didn't do the best you could do are comedians more disciplined now because I know there was always Jerry S Felt at least for me in
00:50:21
the clubs and he was super disciplined but a lot of really good Comics would get it a set which is maybe like 30 and
00:50:28
then they would do crowd work and they would just develop a drinking problem and they would go out across the country
00:50:35
and then you'd see him five years later it's the exact same set and then we're meeting John meany and Jim Gaffigan and
00:50:41
you and Jerry Seinfeld and learning about this this idea of treating it like a college essay like every line and and
00:50:48
then going into the club night after night I don't know people did that back then the successful ones did yeah it's
00:50:55
there's a component to being funny that is like just how hard you work like you can we all think it's
00:51:03
just just natural and and and by and it is that's what gets you into it but yeah
00:51:08
you can be so much funnier by doing things that aren't funny at all and are just really just focusing but I mean
00:51:16
those guys that you listed like I don't work like that on my standup I after this roast I was like man if I worked
00:51:21
this hard on my St that's what you know this level that I worked at I I didn't I did for my special that is out on HBO
00:51:27
now but it's like I didn't give enough time I worked probably about two months on an hour set and this I worked for a
00:51:34
month on six minutes so for the next hour I have to work 10 months ahead of time to get this kind of precision and
00:51:41
that's what I learned from this is like it's it takes it takes a month to get up the six minutes going to the club
00:51:47
recording listening to it and changing and and having a script and working with a writer's assistant who's keeping track
00:51:53
of wait you said this thing on stage like who's in the room jotting things down I like listen to myself so I just for my
00:51:59
I hired someone to like on thead with and TR of what I Wasing stage riing that would I've never heard that but that's
00:52:06
brilliant I just was like why am I not treating my specials like I would treat
00:52:13
if I was host show yeah or a movie like I need help I want people to punch this
00:52:18
up to make it funnier I want I you know this doesn't have to be this solo Endeavor that I've always thought
00:52:24
standup is that I like about standup because it's about control and I can say I did this no I didn't have any help I
00:52:30
can take all the credit um but it's so much better if you have help and it's this and you can take credit because
00:52:35
it's the smart way to approach it it's a good way to do it because you're the character so if someone writes a joke for you we we know kind of what your
00:52:42
stylist I think Kevin Hart a few years back I was impressed that he'd go to Flappers yeah he'd have just bare ideas
00:52:49
kind of rough ideas he'd have four or five writers in the room even though it
00:52:54
was packed 200 seats and he would just do it and then they would sort of yell out and goes what was that thing again and then they would do it again then
00:53:00
they would go in the little room they'd have that rented out for the night they compare notes between shows do this do
00:53:06
this do this so there are ways to treat it so it will move faster you it doesn't
00:53:12
have to take two years to get say you need well we had Dave Dave AEL did 35 a
00:53:19
standup and five of and it was great I loved his special God we did too Nikki
00:53:25
you know the uh I think think when I Rob low roast it was just a hair early because when you guys get the benefit of
00:53:33
Tik Tok I wish we had Tik Tok Instagram there's so many things getting passed around after the roast that I don't
00:53:39
think we got back then it was just like did you see it oh it'll rerun soon uh you can watch it in like another
00:53:46
month but a it's live so it makes it more of it's a great idea from Ted and B
00:53:52
it gets passed around so you're going to see it somehow you're going to see your set Tony whoever whoever Tom's best joke
00:53:59
about the [ __ ] give me 20 million I'll I'll admit I did it or whatever that was wild great great great yes uh
00:54:06
we should but I've seen even seen our old clips are being re re they're coming out like I just saw no
00:54:13
like even leading up their roast Clips are just so um sticky online and I've seen a couple of viewers like they're
00:54:19
taking them from now and like I'm getting a boost I'm seeing boosts from like old roast of just people uh
00:54:25
regenerating that stuff but yeah I mean the scale of this it was everywhere yesterday it was Comedy Central is not
00:54:31
Netflix unfortunately even I did a special on there and it didn't get seen as much as Netflix did your Comedy
00:54:38
Central compare to Netflix I mean yeah comedy yeah HBO HBO is not Global so
00:54:46
which is fine because it's like about okay you might not be able to tour internationally I'm okay the Congo yeah
00:54:52
cuz you know I'll go there if they want me kind of I'll do any I'll go anywhere I'll
00:54:59
take any gig so I'm kind of glad that and I don't like traveling internationally I get stressed out by Customs so I'm kind of like okay I'm I'm
00:55:05
good not going and HBO has a you know uh a classiness to it that I really like
00:55:11
and they really selective so um but yeah there's definitely a difference um yeah
00:55:16
my Comedy Central and Dana couldn't even find honestly no joke I was like Dan that's why check it out he's like I I got to get online and then I got to join
00:55:23
couldn't find it you can find it on YouTube I think but that's why that's but that's almost good though because that's why when we're in Vegas and I'm
00:55:30
like on you know at the Venetian Dave and I have um so you two play the venan on a
00:55:37
regular basis and uh what's your next gig it'll be I think it's July we got
00:55:43
July we got September July's a little hot they they had me play there and it just it was 117 the weekend I was there
00:55:50
I think this is the last July Vegas is going to be functional what does that mean just terms of climate change like
00:55:57
it's we're we're getting it's getting dicey so this is one of the last Summers I think that town will be inhabitable um
00:56:04
but actually it's kind of all indoors at this point and we'll be there still the crowd is wilted that's a that's a
00:56:09
problem yeah they've been out in the sun but there're it's it's such a fun show but that's why I'm always like Dave will you just do bits from that comedy Cent
00:56:17
like I know them and you can because no one saw it and that I feel the same way about some stuff in the past and I hate
00:56:22
it CU you go God I did it and I technically am not supposed to use but I'm like but you can again I work so
00:56:28
hard on it and then I'm like and who saw it then you do one in anywhere else and you go oh these people saw it yeah
00:56:35
yeah it shame but but you know what but with you're the kind you have the kind
00:56:40
of jokes that you want to hear again and again there's like only a handful of comedians who you want same with you
00:56:46
Dana like this that you want to see bits again like the it's it's not just the element of surprise that makes it funny
00:56:52
I think a lot of my jokes are like it's oh it's that twist a phas turn of phrase at the end and once you hear it it's
00:56:58
like the you know the rabbits out of the hat but for you guys I think I want to hear stuff over and over wow I don't
00:57:04
know last time you saw me I didn't have anything I just had bare notes it was oh my God you were so funny last time I saw
00:57:11
it was such a treat I'm just doing you know I kind of am a sketch player at of heart so then if I do say Paul McCartney
00:57:19
and the audience is hot I'll just keep going yeah but I was interested in you guys on the road so who do you flip a
00:57:25
coin who closes who opens oh Dave closes I don't want to touch that because he's David Spade yeah he's [ __ ] David
00:57:32
Spade he's my favorite comedian I I like I start I start sounding like him by the end of the week like that's the joy of
00:57:37
working with him is like I absorb his funniness a little bit and I and I can
00:57:42
spin it like I I totally steal his like Cadence not even intentionally you know it's like when Madonna starts sounding
00:57:48
British like you just hang out enough and you just can't help but be funnier around him and then I get to it's you
00:57:54
know when you're on the road you just like after you get off stage I have to go do a meet and greed and I'm kind of alone and but this after I get off stage
00:58:01
I just get to go watch my favorite comedian and like they're they're doing stuff that I requested like I get to put
00:58:06
in requests and I look at Nikki and mention her half the time because she likes a joke I look over and go it's so
00:58:13
fun um and we got to dinner beforehand and um it's just a great weekend it
00:58:18
makes it a weekend I look forward to and we do it about four or five times a year yeah when you're solo on the road really
00:58:24
solo um yeah it's a little lonely you're in the the day of the hotel is so long
00:58:29
and what do I do like so if you do have another person there the whole energy you come out I remember playing there
00:58:36
was playing a big casino with Dennis and it was starting at 8 and it's one of those things where they come in later
00:58:41
but we we we peaked out the curtain and all the chairs were
00:58:46
empty it was like 758 and he goes Christ sakes Carvey are we three dog night all
00:58:53
this it's like so Dennis then they rush in they're finishing their drinks and
00:58:58
they Rush In And we were okay but at that moment you know we got to let Nikki go so you got you got Jimmy Kimmel
00:59:05
tonight what's your first line you sit down your first joke uh I'll probably
00:59:11
like I've been I'll probably thank him for sending me an email because he he that'll get us into some areas and I
00:59:18
really do want to thank him because he wrote me a really nice email when he didn't need to and he's a busy man so I'll probably do that ingratiate myself
00:59:25
in spray T something I don't know I always comment on I just try to get it whatever
00:59:32
going on to settle in just settle in yeah y yeah yeah make a joke about how I'm trying to dress like duy but like
00:59:38
the outfit I'm wearing I just I'm who do I think I am something like that love it
00:59:43
okay find out if you I'm gonna set my VCR I watch you last night Spade on uh
00:59:48
Kimmel um I guess you were on like a month ago or something something like that and I watched your set to like be
00:59:53
inspired because you are always so great on those and I watched you before Howard too I did Howard yesterday and I was
00:59:58
like what's the vibe I want to go into with Howard like my ideal Howard is a spade Howard and I didn't nail that but
01:00:05
I definitely listened to you beforehand to like get in the right state of mind so all those take work the talk shows
01:00:11
you got to those are things you got to plan out a little bit Absol realize that you gotta you can't just flounder and
01:00:16
just go I'm so interesting you're like nope uhuh you got to have a plan and learn that the hard way as well won't do
01:00:22
that again I'll just leave it at this the business my head my final comment is that you're
01:00:28
still penetrating the market not a sexual Pond and you're you're growing your brand and I do think this special
01:00:36
coupled with the roast and the the spot you in and how you killed so it's just kind of cool you are like a your own
01:00:42
company and it's just doing very well just thank you Dana that means so much to me and like just uh yeah the fact
01:00:49
that I know both of you is truly I said it on tiger belly yesterday is um is an
01:00:55
achievement of my career is like getting to know um well you were my favorite David told you that cuz David he we'd go
