It was his pursuit of an early acting job that came to mind when asked about a worst moment in his career. “It’s the greatest lesson I learned,” he said.
“I auditioned to be myself. This was way back, probably in the mid-’90s maybe? Joy Behar, of ‘The View,’ had a sitcom pilot about a school written for her. At this point I was transitioning out of the theater and moving into stand-up; that was my new career and people were responding to it, and then I was getting auditions for stuff as an actor.
“They flew me out to Los Angeles, I went to the hotel and this is when I should have turned around because I think God was sending me a message. I get out of the car and the valet says, ‘Oh, are you the new valet?’ And at that point, I should have either turned around or taken the job“So the next day, I go to the audition. And there were something like 12 people in the room.
“The only upside was that I had not planned on acting as my career; I still had stand-up to fall back on. But I was broke. I mean, really broke. I had nothing. And if I had gotten this job, I would have made more in a week than I had made in a year. So there was that profound disappointment.
