Misery Loves Comedy Page #2
I don't want to get out of shot,
she'd stand up and go...
"Oh, Bill never had six penises.
How dare you?!"
It was absolutely
the oddest show,
'cause they all went, "Boo!
You're putting your dad down."
No, it was a joke
before she showed up.
HBO used to do
where you'd face the library
and they would
have comics on stage,
live, and no censorship
during afternoons in the summer.
My mother and father
happened to be in for that
and the place is packed
and it's spectacular to be able
to yell the word "f***"
and throw it out
and have it hit the library
and bounce back at you is...
It's like heaven.
And the crowd was great.
I finished up
and my mother goes,
"Oh, my God,
they really do like you."
There's always been a judgment.
"That was funny."
Almost like a comic, like,
"I know, but you
should have laughed."
if there was any ways
to improve it."
I just did Letterman last week.
He found...
"I found no room
for improvement."
That's always
"However,
you can tell David Letterman,
"if you have a chance, I don't
know if he's talkative,
"that that set is too busy.
"I mean, why are you standing
in front of New York City?
"What... what is that?
There should be a nice curtain
that goes with your outfit."
Well, you let me
get right on that.
By the way, he's not wrong.
He's not wrong.
That's the frustrating part.
He's not wrong.
If you change your mind, you can
always go back to Conan, right?
I mean, that was
literally, within...
that was within the 10 seconds
of... of his
first reaction was...
"When the world
beats you to sh*t,
you can come back with your tail
between your legs, can't you?"
And I said,
"Yeah, but I'm not really...
I'm focused on right now, Dad."
Now, one could make the case
that he was right.
I came crawling back
and spit out
by this goddamn town.
But I would just like you for
once to go, "That was great,"
but there's always a criticism.
"Okay, so we're not allowed...
So, should I say something nice
first and then I can say..."
That'd be nice.
That's a start.
Let's start there, but then it
comes out as Irish sarcastic.
"Well, your jeans fit great."
Acceptance is...
has al...
been a big part of... of
dealing with who he was
and realizing very early in life
that I was far from perfect
made it a little bit easier,
but not much, and there's
It's like, when you're...
when you're a junior,
you're really just
that which walked
before you, right?
Like, your name is his.
