My first year on 'SNL', I made $90,000 dollars. And I bought a red Corvette for $45,000 dollars. I'm thinking, 'I've got 45 grand left!' Taxes didn't even come into my equation. At the end of the first year of making 90 grand I was 25, 30 in the hole. We live in this baller, spend-money culture.
I think my best work is when I'm kind of in charge.
When I do stand-up, I'm basically doing a one-man show.
If I find a comedy club where no one's camera works, I'll go.
After I left high school and got my GED, I studied broadcast journalism for a year at a community college.
Show me one guy or woman as funny as Rodney Dangerfield or as good as George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, or Joan Rivers. There are a lot of good comics out there, no doubt, but as far as the quality of the comics goes, I think what you have is a bunch of situational comics.
I'll go back to comedy clubs when they get a real no-camera policy, the same way they did with smoking.
I'm never proper or careful, but I never curse in front of my mother, either.
I kind of keep my personality in my pocket a lot. When I start to do stand-up, that's not my true personality either. It's the personality of a guy who hasn't been able to say what he wanted to say.
I don't believe I can offend you in a comedy club. I don't believe I can offend you in a concert. A comedy club is a place where you work out material; you're trying material.
Only married people understand you can be miserable and happy at the same time.
I love being famous. It's almost like being white.
Does having a wife and kids change your act? Yes, but only in the best way. It gives you weight and authority. It also makes you closer to the audience because the audience is married and has kids.
It's like, hmm, there's people with $2000 weaves that could have bought health care with that weave money. They don't have insurance. People want what they want. And I guess that is a reason we have this big credit card problem and a lot of these foreclosures.
School shootings were invented by blacks... and stolen by the white man.
Yeah, I love being famous. It's almost like being white, y'know?
I'm severely overrated. I'm just above a hack.
I'm a big fan of Katt Williams, Jim Gaffigan, Louie CK, Margaret Cho, Kathy Griffin, Rich Vas, Joey Vega and Matt Claybrooks.
Being with my kids is the best, most fun thing; it's a privilege.
Right now, my job is that I'm like an ambulance chaser. I've got to look for movies with white guys falling out of them.
