I was eight years into comedy.
Im like a 33-year-old server.
I was like,Am I going to make it in this industry?
Because Im barely making rent.He was there to see somebody else.
Emily Gordon, who was the producer, was like, TheConanbooker asked for your email.
Is it okay if I give it to him?
I was like, Yes!
I was running a whole different set for two or so months.
And I was happy because that was my fucking all-star bit that I was just so proud of.
People on Twitter were being fully big monsters.
But then heres the thing: They didnt keep it.
So I think it was the first time they ever gave a comic an edit.
But no one was mean to me.
Then I was like, Oh!
And everybody applauds the biggest applause for me to finish the rest of my joke.
Then I got right back into it.
I was so nervous that day because it was my first TV set.
I was going to the bathroom every three minutes, pooping outnothing.
Nothing was coming out.
Barely anything except literally blood because I was so nervous and I get hemorrhoids really bad.
I only ate, like, fruit that day.
That was the most I could do.
That, and I had warm Sprite like my mom gave me when I was a kid.
