When I was a young kid, my pops introduced me to it. He took me to Harlem, 145th and Edgecombe, to watch the filming of Claudine with James Earl Jones and Diahann Carroll. That was my first taste of seeing a set and the cameras, and I was bit by the acting bug at a young age.

Michael's the ultimate entertainer. After Michael Jackson, it's Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Bruce Lee.

I had a great time working on 'Saturday Night Live.' It was one of the important times in my life.

I don't do drama. I'm a comedian.

Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations; a way to survive another day.

I have snakes, three sharks, moray eels, piranhas, five scorpions and a bird spider. All of them are predators. They are dangerous but it's cool to have strong and powerful pets.

Stand-up is the foundation to my career. It's what I started out doing.
