I GOT TO ASK YOU, NEARLY TWO DECADES NOW IN VEGAS WITH A RESIDENCY OUT THERE, BUT NOW YOU DECIDE TO HIT THE ROAD. WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION? WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT JUST BEING ON THE ROAD IS HOW DIFFERENT IS IT? MY MANAGER HAS A CAR PAYMENT, SO WE THOUGHT WE’D GO MAKE SOME EXTRA CASH FOR HIM. FAIR ENOUGH. NO. YOU KNOW, THE ROAD IS SO DIFFERENT. IT’S SO FUN. I MEAN, VEGAS IS THE IS ALSO A BLAST. YOU KNOW, VEGAS IS WHAT IT IS. BUT TO GETTING OUTSIDE OF THERE AND DOING SOMETHING LIKE I USED TO DO LIKE THE ROAD AND DO THESE DIFFERENT VENUES IS IT’S GOT MORE ENERGY. IT’S GOT MORE PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT DOING, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, THE SHOW. AND IT’S JUST, I DON’T KNOW, IT’S FUN. YEAH. BUT MY, MY FANS COME OUT AND, YOU KNOW, WE’RE IN CARROT TOP T SHIRTS AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE AT A CONCERT. SO, YEAH, YOU KNOW, AND AGAIN, I MENTIONED YOU’VE BEEN AT THE LUXOR NOW FOR ABOUT 18 YEARS. I KNOW YOU JUST CELEBRATED THAT. SO CONGRATULATE NATIONS. DID YOU EVER IMAGINE 30 PLUS YEARS AGO WHEN YOU STARTED OUT IN THE INDUSTRY, THAT YOU WOULD BE HAVE A RESIDENCY OUT THERE FOR ALMOST TWO DECADES? NO, I DIDN’T EVEN THINK. I NEVER I NEVER THOUGHT EVEN 18 YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY NOW. IT’S JUST IT’S, UH. YEAH, IT’S SO IT’S ACTUALLY, UM, IT’S ONLY JUST LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE. EVERY NIGHT I GET ON STAGE, NO MATTER WHERE I’M AT, I THINK OF HOW CRAZY IT IS, BUT, UH, IT’S FUN. OKAY, WE JUST TOUCHED ON THE IDEA THAT YOU HAVE NOW BEEN DOING YOUR PERFORMANCE FOR NEARLY OR THREE DECADES, AT LEAST. DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THAT FIRST PROP WAS THAT MADE YOU THINK? I THINK I CAN DO MORE OF THIS. YES. I WAS TRYING TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING. YOU KNOW, THE FIRST PART IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOUR ACT’S GOING TO BE. AND I HAD I HAD HAD THIS NEIGHBORHOOD CRIME WATCH SIGN THAT I HAD STOLEN, AND IT WAS ON MY DORM ROOM, AND MY BUDDY SAID, YOU SHOULD BE A COMIC, GO PERFORM. AND I. SO I DIDN’T HAVE ANY JOKES, SO I WENT, I TOOK THE SIGN OFF THE MY DORM ROOM WALL, AND I WENT ON STAGE AND I SAID, SORRY I’M LATE. I’M. AND I WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND, AND, UH, EVERYBODY KIND OF LAUGHED. AND I SAID, HOW GOOD IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CRIME WATCH SIGN IF THEY’RE NOT EVEN WATCHING THE SIGNS? AND, UH, EVERYONE LAUGHED. AND THEN MY FRIEND SAID, THAT’S GOOD. AND YOU SHOULD COME UP WITH MORE STUFF LIKE THAT. SO I JUST STARTED COMING UP WITH LIKE, VISUAL KIND OF THINGS. UM, YOU DIDN’T GET IN TROUBLE FOR THAT, DID YOU? YOU KNOW, NO, I COULD HAVE PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, UH, BUT IT WAS IT WAS FUN. AND THEN, UH, YEAH, JUST KIND OF TOOK OFF AND THEN. YEAH, NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN, 38 YEARS, 39 YEARS LATER, STILL DOING COMEDY. SO IT’S, UH, IT’S CRAZY HOW CHALLENGING IS IT TO KEEP YOUR PROPS FRESH? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT DESPITE WHAT SOME MAY THINK, TOPICAL COMEDY IS PART OF YOUR ACT. ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN, THAT’S WHAT KEEPS THE SHOW GOING, I THINK IS DOING TOPICAL STUFF AND STAYING ON TOP OF, YOU KNOW, ALL THE NEWS. I MEAN, DOING A JOKE ABOUT OHTANI, THE BASEBALL PLAYER. I HAVE SOMETHING ON THAT. YOU KNOW, I HAVE SOMETHING ON MIKE TYSON FIGHTING AGAIN. SO YOU GOT TO BE PRETTY CURRENT READY TO GO ON ON ALL THE TOPICS. YEAH. AND SOMETIMES YOU’RE SO NEW, YOU KNOW, IT CAN BE SO NEW. YOU KNOW PEOPLE DON’T EVEN KNOW IT YET. SO YOU’RE AHEAD OF THE GAME AS YOU KNOW, AND BEING A NOOSE. SO I CAN I CAN DO I DID A TYSON THING LAST NIGHT AND HALF THE CROWD KNEW AND HALF THE CROWD DIDN’T KNOW. SO. RIGHT. WELL, WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT TRYING TO FIND THOSE THOSE ITEMS THOUGH? BECAUSE AGAIN, PROP COMEDY THAT KIND OF SUGGESTS THAT YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING ON THE ROAD NOW. YEAH, I DO, I GO OUT AND DIG. I LIKE TODAY IN PALM SPRINGS, I’LL GO. I’LL GO TO TOWN AND LOOK FOR STUFF, LOOK FOR, UH, YARD SALES AND JUNKYARDS AND FIND ODD THINGS. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. WELL, AGAIN, NOW FOLKS CAN KNOW, MAYBE PUT OUT A LITTLE GARAGE SALE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. YOU NEVER KNOW, YOU MIGHT HAVE CARROT TOP POPPING BY RIGHT. HEY. RIGHT. BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR SHOW.
