I bet I'm the only person in history who went from being the star of a sitcom to the host of a public-access show in less than a year.
The world of entertainment is built for big money. It's not built for small-scale projects that sustain themselves.
I think there is a weird loneliness that comes with being a comedian. There is something definitely inside the personality of a person who wants to be a comedian, and (he or she) is looking to connect (to the audience) at all times.
I think for a lot of people, the financial barrier is the biggest leap (that) you have to take. A lot of people don't want to stick their necks out and take that risk which is totally understandable. Until you are ready to totally bet on yourself and put all of your chips on the table, it doesn't happen.
