I never write jokes, I just try to make myself laugh.

I would only take a role that I know I'm comfortable in and I can do. I've turned down plenty of things because I'd feel it's not me, and I wouldn't want to come on someone's project and flip that.

Man, you can come see me six or seven times in a row and you'll never see the same show twice, because I don't like to be robotic onstage. I like to perform for that particular audience.

For me, standup will always be some part of my life, and other things will move around and find their place.

I can apply myself to the format of 'SNL,' I can apply myself to the format of 'Conan,' but at the same time, I'm still being J. B. Smoove. I'm not changing up my style, I'm not changing up how I think, what's funny to me, my delivery, the way I carry myself.

True Yankees fans know an up-and-coming player when they see one.

That's what I am; I'm a drip. You still get hydrated, you still get your nutrients, just a little at a damn time.
