You're THE MAN AB, congrats on your recent success.. Sounds like you're in for one hell of a year.. Dont forget to keep us updated with crazy comedy club fights or other crazy stories that unfold this year..
Thanks Rimbaud. Timing has been my worst enemy, when I was "hot" in Hollywood we got pregnant with my son so I couldn't spend as much time in LA as I needed to. I was actually cast on "In Living Color" back in the 90's but the show got cancelled just as we were to began rehearsals for the new season. Luckily I was cast on a new sketch series and shot a pilot, but Fox opted to do the John Leguizamo sketch show instead. When I was with VH-1 my hiring producer left and went to CNN so all of the projects that she had for me got shelved and I was out of there within 6 months. The most frustrating is that the Steve Harvey Show was actually my concept. I took the meetings, did the legwork but again my wife was pregnant so my career had to take a back seat and Harvey ended up with the show (WB). Yet I am not bitter at all. I feel like whatever God has planned for me I will get in due time, and I have been fortunate enough to keep food on the table, enjoy some of the finer things in life and express myself as an artist.
No prob, AB. I don't think anyone has a problem with you getting ideas from this board. I hope I get to hear what the skit is. HeyP, as far as the story went, I actually went to meet a waitress from a strip club out one evening. As I was there, I noticed my class ring was missing, and freaked out just a hair, which caused her and her friends to leave. I ended up posting it here, and got flamed for it, even though I think anyone would be irritated if they lost their class ring. Anyway, that was the jist. I'm sure AB's rendition isn't exact. But I don't recall what the thread was that it was in. I'm sure someone will recall where it was.
AB, Congrats man! I really hope the FX thing works out. I've already forwarded this to my wife and other friends who I've told about you over the years. I'll never forget how nice you were to me and my guest that night in Fort Worth (I still tell people your opening joke to that set). You're a very talented individual and an amazingly nice guy to boot. I wish you nothing but the greatest success!
"My buddy and I go into a strip bar (because he paid and I need the jokes) and we decide to get the double table dance, you know 2 chicks on 2 dudes. An hour after the dance he discovers that his class ring is missing. We search all over and then realize that the stripper stole the class ring! I know it sounds harsh but I tell him that if he's stupid enough to get his class ring stolen by a stripper then he is probably to stupid to have graduated in the first place...then I notice...my wedding ring is missing..."
Another... can you PLEASE do something other than La Cucaracha? I was really insulted. Just kidding. Saw your show. I think I was the only "ClutchFan" that went to your last LaffSpot show last year. I was really surprised you looked different at the show than on your site's photos and on the promo flyer for the place. Dude. EAT something.
All interesting stuff and I find it somewhat relatable as my academic career was pretty much put on hold due to family...I also am not bitter. For you that explains why you "disappeared" after a run of TV exposure. Anyway, about the Steve Harvey thing - makes sense with your music background but damn I hated that show because of SH. I don't know why, but I have always hated him as a personality (obviously since I don't know him).
Sounds like pretty big news for ya, good job. I got something for you to use, it'll kill! I mean it's gold, GOLD! What's the deal with Ovaltine? The jar's round, the mug's round. Why don't they call it Roundtine?
sounds great AB, congratulations! best of luck to you enjoyed meeting ya that time, but still aint caught an act. Try to get a date in town soon if ya got time with all theser other projects going on.
AB -congrats all around! Years ago I worked a comedy club (in Austin) for a few years and my opinion on the 2 new jokes? Funny as hell! It's rare (as ya know) to hear anything w/ a ring of originality and those both sound real fresh!.
When I was in high school my Dad, who was in the Navy, had an opportunity to be promoted to Admiral. All he lacked was a tour as captain of a ship, and he was offered a position as the captain of an aircraft carrier, but he turned it down because he didn't want to move my brother and I while we were in high school. He never made Admiral. It is one of the stories about my Dad I love to tell. You should be proud, and not just about your career.
congrads AB! you deserve all of the success you are about to get into, awesome person, great to talk to, and one funny ass mofo always keep us updated when your in town, I'll always catch your show
