When my dad died, I had to go to therapy.Collection: Dad
Things that I feel really sad about, I talk about. That way, if it's funny, it doesn't hurt anymore.Collection: Sad
I'm not the first person to say this, but communication at 'SNL' - I don't want to say it's not good, but unless you ask questions, you will not know what's going on.Collection: Communication
I don't like going out. I'm more of a watch TV, hang out, Netflix kind of guy. I don't like leaving; I don't like talking to people. It gives me anxiety.
I have to do stand-up. I have to do something comedy-involved every day, or else I will lose my mind.
I don't let a lot of people know about my dad dying on 9/11. It's not a way to introduce yourself. So I never told anybody, and then I would do jokes about it... and I think people thought I was lying about it. Which would be crazy!
There are people for everybody, and luckily, I found mine.
I was the class clown in high school, but I always took it too far, so nobody liked me. I was annoying. Like, I would get a laugh and then keep going and keep going.
I get nervous all the time. The only time I'm not nervous is onstage, which is weird.
I have no idea how to do sketches, believe it or not.
I feel bad for kids growing up that, like, their favorite rapper is Lil Yachty.
You can't say whatever you want on network television.
I always wanted my stand-up to feel like not just a show, but like you're hanging out with someone for an hour. I like to just talk.
I started doing stand-up when I was 16, my junior year in high school. My two friends and I would sit at home watching stand-up. They kept saying I should try it, and so I did.
I'm the most awkward person in the world, but onstage, I'm completely fine. I could run around in a thong and not care.
I bombed so much as a standup that messing up doesn't matter to me anymore. I kind of enjoy bombing sometimes - I try and make everybody hate me more. Like, once I know it's not going well, I can just have fun.
'SNL' has changed my career because it gave it a platform to be seen. And I really feel like the Weekend Update desk is where I am given the opportunity to shine on that show.
My jokes have definitely changed. 'SNL' has helped with that, because when you're on 'SNL,' you have to kind of pay attention to the news. I feel like my material has gotten smarter now.
I really wish that I was, like, strong enough to not go online.
I got rid of Twitter, and I got rid of Facebook.
There have been a couple of times when kids that weren't nice to me in high school are like, 'Hey, man!' And I'm just like, 'Yeah. Thank you very much.'
I feel like every time I tweet, I lose money.
It's not good to be lit all the time and have no clear-headed thoughts.Collection: Lit
I have to do stand-up. I have to do something comedy-involved every day or else I will lose my mind. I already am, but I would go more nuts.Collection: Mind
I'm not making fun of it because I want to make fun of it. I'm making fun of it so I feel better. I don't want people to think any time there's a tragedy that I'm going to make a joke about it. It's only funny to me because it's personal to me. And that was always the goal. It wasn't to be this insult person.Collection: Fun
I just really want to do stand-up and act in stuff that I like. And do stuff that makes me really happy.Collection: Really Happy
I don't want idiots in my audience. So if me coming forward with what my beliefs are is what you need to hear to not be a fan anymore, that's great. That means next time I show up in whatever said city, your dumb ass won't be there.Collection: Mean
