the nicest he's a great guy at this benefit he had queen latifah uh you know a lot of range don don rickles john mayer and you're like sitting there and i did a set and i'm sitting next to it and then some i don't know like someone who started the movie industry you know i mean he's got goldwood mayor and so don rickles orson wells here they walked over and they gave him a microphone and he just started making fun of everyone and it was just like the best i think i think geraldo was an incredible roaster i love i i do think what you're saying is now that with like the pop you know popularity of things like roast battle a lot of those comics are like two years in right they don't have an act they don't have a self-deprecating joke about themselves but they've got five minutes on some dude they've never met yeah and they're going up at the comedy store so that to me that's like but i guess if it's if it's writing it's it is productive and it's a way to get in and for greg it was like the roach were huge so that was so interesting he was you know you know i have this theory about greg is that you know uh what you have to understand is that like and this is my perspective completely is that greg toronto was brilliant uh and i don't say that in a cute way like he was a really smart guy oh yeah so he was like his parents were both immigrants he got into regis harvard law harvard law columbia scholarship all the way worked for like the biggest law firm in the world gave it all up uh you know to pursue stand up he was so pure at this and and and what i think the the amount of failure and humiliation he you know i don't know but like it almost was like it took its toll on him harder because he's like all i do is win and and that was not his personality his personality was not like i win right it was just the track record like he could go into a club he was he was engaging he was not a sycophant he had a confidence and a rapport whether it was long island or or the upper east side he could connect with all these types of people so like when and i was there when he got his sitcom deal and the you know it's more of like how the level of cruelty the entertainment industry is like he had a manager not a manager an agent that was his agent that you know plucked him out of uh uh you know uh montreal and then within two years he saw her at a restaurant and she act like she didn't know him damn damn and you're like wow i i got an agent out of montreal and uh he left the company after signing me two months later and i didn't get an email didn't that wild this is an ugly business i mean greg you know you talk about how brilliant he is and you talk about the cruelty of of this business but like his humility was you know
