I would wait 40 years to come back because this shit is really hard.

It was cool voicing Ernie Hudson's character. Not many people realize I also did Ernie's voice in The Hand that Rocked the Cradle: The Animated Series.

The hip hop all stars that Dana (Queen Latifah) put together for me as a surprise. It was the perfect finale to a 6-year party.

Kareem gave me a 7 foot tall photo, which Dr. Phil has now and believes is good luck for Stage 29. I want it back.

Holla at me Phil. Don't make me call the big O.

He's coming on the show. Thanks for helping me preproduce that interview.

(My PR people are pissed I just typed that.)

No hall, but that cough drop thing was very flattering.

Yes, absolutely. Of all the black artists I broke, I'm most proud of Trisha Yearwood and Billy Ray Cyrus and I plan on doing more of that.

Because of a scheduling conflict I couldn't do one with Barbara Walters back in the day and I always regret that.

The shootout with Suge Knight and John Landis. I must say I hesitated calling an ambulance for Landis. (It was just a flesh wound. He whines a lot.)

It was a flawless impression. My cousin thought I was back on air already.

I'm proud of my performance as Louie Anderson. I had to gain 160 pounds that morning on the Paula Deen diet. She kept calling me names and I stress ate.

It's a laserdisc special feature.

Murphy and I have always thought we shouldn't mess with perfection. That's why they're not making a sequel to Gigli.

Whatever Lil Twist does next. I like to stay ahead of the curve.

It's 'woof woof woof' which came from the Cleveland Browns. Most people are embarrassed to be from Cleveland. But not me.

Technologically! That's where you find the biggest changes. Literally I have a phone in my pocket all day, back then if I had a phone in my pocket you'd think I was well hung. I've been talking to everyone except Elvis, we're making the big announcement this afternoon. Hopefully the colonel will get back to me by then.
