'And I am so much, I really don't know what a play -off is. And because I could not connect with the joke and therefore could not connect with the public, I was bombing.
'But I found a strange sensation in it, especially because it was someone else's joke who bombarded. Absolute. And then it became more interesting to bomb than to work. And that became the show.
“The show became:” We make a lot of nonsense show in a basement that doesn't really work. And here is my discount robot with my buddy who does the voice. ”
And you know, that was what the show was. The show was the failure. '
