While Many Comics Have A Secret Persona,

You Know, Sometimes You Can't Just Take An Armadillo, Put It In The Barn, Light It On Fire And Expect It To Make Licorice.

I Used To Sneak Up To The 8th Floor And Watch Eddie Murphy And Joe Piscopo Rehearsing 'saturday Night Live' And Could Only Wonder If I Would Ever Have The Chance To Be Funny. It Took Me Five Years To Go Up The Two Stories, But It Is Such A Sense Of Fulfillment To Be Able To Show What I Can Do On National Television.

After Years Of Begging, I Got My Parents To Get Me A Little Craig Tape Recorder, A Reel To Reel. Then I Started Recording Voices, Or Recording Jonathan Winters Off Television And Stuff Like That.
