"Oh, go home!"

I've been introspective as of late, and began to wonder why it is I do what I do. You know, why I do the comedy thing. And why it matters so much to me, that I take it so seriously.

Then I became reminded of these comedians, who happen to be women (I'll save you my rant on women in comedy), who have had such a huge impact on me. I cannot think of "comedy" or "comedic genius" without considering them, their body of work, and their contribution to the world of comedy. Of course there are more women and men that have influenced me, but these guys rock my world.

When I grow up, I want to be like...



(L-R: Lucille Ball, Lilly Tomlin, Whoopi Goldberg, Tracy Ullman, Carol Burnett, Gilda Radner)
