Next up is Ike Ufomadu.

What would yourReal Housewivestagline be?Im not here to make friends.

Im here to makebest friends.

So it may depend on who you ask.

Im most proud of whatever the latest project Ive done is.

Thats the goal, anyway.

Wouldnt that be a great way to live?

I got called up with the class clown.

I guess she thought shed lose, because she blurted out,Uh-oh, Spaghettios!, which killed.

The room lost it.

I wondered how she could be so funny, and then wondered if I could be that funny too.

This did not work, but something from that whole experience must have stuck with me.

It somehow felt like I was on drugs.

Is it his pacing?

Is it his timing?

Is it the way he weaves his material together?

Is it all of the above?

Its hard to discern why someone makes us laugh.

When it comes to your comedy opinions about material, performing, audience, the industry, etc.

Whats an embarrassingly earnest goal you have?I think itd be great to have a private rehearsal studio-slash-office.

At one end of the studio is a desk.

Behind that desk, a large bookshelf rich with books.

And the rest of the room, an empty rehearsal studio.

Its the only way it can work.

I like that its not exactly a guarantee that everythingwillwork out.

I cant for the life of me think of the worst comedy advice Ive ever received.

I think I only remember things that are useful to remember.

With some work, I can remember some comedy advice that wasnt exactly useful for me.

But I hesitate to call it bad because perhaps itd be useful to some other comedian.

Were all different people after all different little jokesters joking in our different little ways.
