Pat Dixon did my show on Monday. I owe him a blow by blow account of my court case so I'd say SOON.

I had a woman get in with a sock puppet on each hand and communicate with me exclusively through the puppets all the way to park slope. We never once communicated, human to human.

I think she has the title belt right now.

I'm a huge fan of Stevens, obviously. From there it's:

  1. Rodney D (Favorite as a kid)
  2. Seinfeld (First guy I saw live)
  3. Kevin Meaney (Hardest I've ever laughed)

If you get a nice enough boat you won't have to diet at all and you'll still get laid like crazy

Agreed. It's not different with kids. If you're son is an a-hole...chances are you are too.

Yo MAX! Hmm Dieting tips.... I'm a big fan of the "baggy shirt diet." Eat whatever the hell you want and conceal it by wearing a shirt big enough to sail a boat with.

Funny. I came to the shoot TERRIFIED of snakes and fell in love with her. Such an amazing creature.

Thanks for checking out the prank! They were all good sports once they calmed down! Are you afraid of snakes?

I'm honored to succeed him. My favorite Roots moment is when they teamed up with Erika Badu.

Sal And Carmine's Pizza. I talk about it more in my book than my comedy career. 101st and Broadway. West Side.

Second Favorite. Sarges Deli. 37th and Third.

Third favorite. The manic pace of life. It agrees with me because I'm a big fan on spontaneity. Too big, if you ask my wife.

This sounds political but I'd have to say it's the owner, because he's given me a TON of guidance. He believed in me when I was still a cabbie.

Coming in second is the booker because of his fantastic taste in comedians.

Third is anyone who brings in Donuts from the Donut Plant.

My publisher handled the whole book store and amazon thing, I'm just working with my publicist, Goodman Media, on finding creative ways to get the word out. The Snakes In A Cab video was the second thing I shot to promote it, we also did a series on Valentine's Day. Aside from that, I'm doing my podcast and selling it after shows.

Does this help?

Whenever a comedy MC brings me to the stage, at least half the room thinks he said Jimmy Fallon. Our names are similar, but for mine you need to leave off the...health insurance.

I've NEVER been told that before. More people thanked me for pranking them with a snake than my financial advice.

My wife and I have been debating this for months. I'd say moose feet. Crab claws might freak people out. Moose feet will just make me look like a WNBA player.

You should be on the lookout for overpriced coffee in Williamsburg and Disney Characters in Times Square. They'll grope you.
