the Joe Rogan experience let me tell you something when you're the first guy
that I'm the first guy to do what I did yes you know I mean I always looked up
to Eddie Murphy I think he's the absolute greatest from stand-up to the
films he's done and that's sort of the career I wanted I figured I would just
go from doing you know millions of people on the road to just movie stardom
you know but you know I got the backlash you know yeah you were the first to
get
the back yeah but yeah I was the first band from MTV so been from MTV band from
MTV for jokes let me you're bringing up stuff I want to bring up but let me all
right so with MTV this is what you'll love this is the part you don't know well
didn't they approve that set anywhere no they didn't prove anything they didn't
no no see you know this is the thing you know I always had an expression nobody
fucks with dice dice does the fucking in the past the present the future and a
day
dice ultimately in the multiverse does the fucking that's it in the multiverse
so I
I come for the rehearsal and my whole job was to hit my mark and ladies and
gentlemen I remember it the last Puritan share and I make that move with my
hand
right share okay so I'm getting ready and that they already had a couple comics
on
that just tanked you know Paul Reiser and I think he's great but tough crowd
you
don't come out on the MTV Awards at the Universal Amphitheater and talk about
the
Hats Sinatra war I'm looking at my friend going look at look at the crowd no it's
like he's not even in the room you know my friend says to me he goes well you
could go
out there and you could either be a teardrop or you could be a tidal wave you
know
you okay so I don't really want to go nuts I'm trying to do the right thing I
got the
biggest manager ever Sandy Gallin who had everybody from Whoopi to Stallone to
Dolly Parton I mean I'm sure you know the name Sandy Gallin okay so biggest
manager in
Hollywood so I'm trying to do the right thing and um so now I don't know a
minute before I go out Arsenio's the host here comes Dick Clark who wow it's
Dick
Clark you know you grow up watching this man and he comes over just to hear him
call me dice was hilarious and he goes look dice if you gotta stretch
Arsenio will come over to you and you'll play around and I go whoa whoa wait a
minute what
do you mean stretch stretch what you know what am I stretching my dick what are
you
talking about no I'm not even kidding he goes no you know because Cher might
not be ready
I go no no no we didn't work anything out me and Arsenio and I had no problem
with
Arsenio but you know this is a standalone spot you know and he goes well this
is the
way things go I go don't fucking tell me how things go okay you're not my boss
you
know and as I'm getting angry at him which in my mind I'm going are you really
getting angry at Dick Clark they start introducing me well I come out there now
I'm
angry now everybody's gonna pay now everybody will be disciplined and I
don't know how I did the set but I went into the poems now you got to
understand
this is not HBO or Showtime this is MTV this is everybody gets this it's free
you
know I go into the poems and uh what was the poem uh oh that got me banned I go
Georgie Porgie putting in pie jerked off in his girlfriend's eye when her eye
was dry
and shut Georgie fucked that one-eyed slut oh and the crowd's going fucking
crazy so I figured go into my fat girl stuff
and that ended with you don't know where the tits begin and the belly ends it's
like one big glop of shit right and I go now I go cuz they gave me a signal
ladies
and gentlemen the last Puritan share and she comes out singing if I could turn
back
time which is what everybody was thinking in the room if we could turn back
time
about eight minutes but in the meantime while I'm doing the act Dick Clark goes
to charge me and Arsenio jumps on his back and tackles him
dick clark the car's trying to stop your set dick clark was gonna jump he went
out of his fucking mind
his hair got messy I'll put it to you that way
so now now I come off the stage Eddie right
Jamie listen Jamie young Jamie young Jamie so now they're taking me into the
press tense
not one question was asked and and it was all the press in the world
Sandy gallon calls me at home he goes I was praying that what I was watching on
TV was only coming through my television
then I get a call you know from a club owner remember Rascals and West Orange
the owner Mark Magnum
yeah great greatest guy so Kennison was there who I always say he was having a
rivalry with me I was happy for him when his career took off I was thrilled for
him
he had no problem with me cuz I was on the show crime story at the time but and
he was
doing I don't know four or five thousand seats a night he was the guy before I
took off when
my career took off it went straight to arenas I was doing 80 to 100,000 people
a week and he
just couldn't handle it for whatever reason but he goes so Kennison's watching
this going that's
it he's done he's finished in the meantime the reality was I went from doing
one arena show
let's let's let's let's say at the spectrum in Philly to two arena shows but
three arena
shows where Bill Burr saw me at um in Boston at whatever arena I did there at
one show it went to
three shows it just got bigger and bigger and bigger nothing was hurting and so
the next day there's this
big meeting at MTV and Rick Rubin was there you know and you know my my people
that I worked with uh Sandy
got all these but it was the presidents that banning me for life you know which
is hilarious I'm not even
a singer you know and uh yeah I'm like so I'm banned what do I give a shit look
at the numbers
you know right and um but Dick Clark this is why Dick Clark became Dick Clark
because the guy
that was trying to tackle and beat me to a pulp for what I was doing is
standing there his hair is now
a fix the next day and he says to a room full of executors when they're banning
me for life he goes
are you sure you want to do that because Rick Rubin told me
he goes this guy is the biggest thing in the world right now and you're banning
him for life
it was just one of the crazy moments of the backlash of my career
