I have a funny family, but none of them are remotely in show business.
Good comics stick around. There are people who have TV shows that might be successful, but comics can't really fake it. If you say, 'Hey, I love what you guys are doing - you're funny,' then you're in. It's legit.
Whether you have a show or not, you can still be somewhere being funny.
I'm going to leave The Wanda Sykes Show and try to get her job because $5 million ain't too bad!
Ok so there's no TV shows, no movies going on fine, but I love going on stage and performing stand up so my situation is a little better than someone who's strictly just an actor or actress.
