This is one of the wildest moments and it’s really hard to describe. When I moved to New York I wasn’t even sure I’d make enough money to make a living and now to have a Billboard on Times Square for my first hour special feels more than crazy.

Rich people really got the game on lock. Step 1: Be Rich Step 2: Convince poor people they can be rich. Step 3: Get poor people to argue on your behalf that you shouldn’t be taxed or fined for misdeeds in the hopes that one day when they’re rich they also won’t be taxed or fined
