Black comics, they only watch black comedians. you're a comedian; you're not just a black comedian. you're a comedian. i try to get that through to everybody.
Black Comedian Trying
You can't expect everyone to laugh or applaud you for doing edgy things. sometimes you'll miss. but i think comedians are artists and there's a value in failure. it kind of works both ways between comedians and audiences. the audience has to understand that comedians are going to sometimes tell a joke that doesn't work out with dark subjects, and the comedian has to understand that sometimes they 'll fail and it's not the audience's fault for not getting it or loving it.
Dark Artist Thinking
The whole life-effort of man is to get his life into direct contact with the elemental life of the cosmos, mountain life, cloud life, thunder life, air life, earth life, sun life. to come into immediate felt contact, and so derive energy, power and a dark sort of joy. this effort into sheer naked contact, without an intermediary or mediator is the root meaning of religion.
Dark Men Roots
Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. they voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others.
Life Philosophical Unique
I came upon whatever i'm doing organically. i didn't study anything. i don't have any real aspirations other than to connect with somebody, and to have the conversation be genuine. that's the best that can happen. even if it only happens for 10 minutes in an episode. but i think what people forget is that you don't have to try to get a comedian to be funny. comedians are innately funny. that the real challenge of talking to them is to get them talking about real things and then see where they need to be funny. and let them do that on their own volition.
Real Thinking People
For me, i felt bad for people asking the questions, cause you know their boss sent them out saying, 'get me something on mission impossible.' and you ask the question, and it's just a polite, 'i'm not going to tell you.' then, every so often, they'd go, 'well, can't you just tell us a little bit?' i have to say, 'you know what guys, i'm under contract and i'm not going to tell you anything.' so you keep asking the questions and i'm just going to keep smiling. and it's hard, cause i don't want to seem rude, but it's part of my job just like it's part of their job to keep a secret.
