COMEDY

I slept in my car doing comedy shows for $50. Now I sign $100 million deals. The car didn't have air conditioning, by the way.

Comedy is my first love. Business is my second. Both pay well. But only one makes people cry laughing.

I was 14 years old on The Tonight Show. Johnny Carson looked at me and said I was going to be a star. I never forgot that. But I also knew the business behind the curtain was where the real power lived.
