I'm excited to share my story with you. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now, I'm gonna be honest: Some of the details might be vague because a b*tch is fifty-five and she's smoked a ton of weed.

Whether I'm talking about my childhood growing up in the South, my early stand-up days driving from gig to gig through the darkest parts of our country and praying I wouldn't get murdered, what Chris Rock told Lorne Michaels, that time I wanted to shoot Whoopi Goldberg on SNL, and yeah, I'll tell you all about \u003ci\u003eGhostbusters\u003c\/i\u003e and the nudes and\u003ci\u003e Supermarket Sweep\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Show\u003c\/i\u003e . . .
