I got on the high school speech team and everyday I would get up in front of the class and just start talking.

I never go perform somewhere alone. I've done that since day one. I've always taken other comics with me.

I'm not selling out, denying who I am or where I've come from, not at all. I acknowledge that.

People can relate to someone who isn't perfect.

I think the furthest I ever got was Guitar Hero. If I could start a band like that, I think I could do it.

With this show [Stand-Up Revolution ], I loved the idea that I would be picking the talent that goes on, not the network. It was me handpicking people who might not have gotten the chance to be on TV. So, I thought it was real cool that I was putting people up there.

Connecting with people is not hard. I love the interaction and the feedback after shows. It does take some time, but the fans appreciate it which makes it worth it.
