-Comedian Sinbad has announced he's filing for bankruptcy --

-Oh, God, he's so retarded.
Sounds like things have gone from Sinbad to Sin-worse.
-Canada, you know -- -Canada, you're 20.
-But anyways, the guys from America were unbelievable.
And it was you, and it was Leno.
And Leno, like, was at the peak.
-Jay? -Jay Leno.
-That's the one where Sinbad was on.
-That's the one where Sinbad was on.
-Oh, yeah.
He always wanted to tell me stories --

He always wanted me to tell stories about Sinbad.
But I love Sinbad.

He always wanted me to tell stories about Sinbad.
I don't know.
-What year was that?
-Fuck, I don't know.
-Like '87?
-I don't know dates.
-Yeah.
-But it was around there.
-How long had you been doing comedy at that point?
-Six months.
-Really?
-Yeah.
But it was Canada, so we got a home court thing.
-So that was like in American years, that's four years?
-No, no.
I'm saying because the Montreal Comedy Festival was in Canada,
we had a quota to fill.
-Right.
-I would never have gotten on it if I was in the States.
So I got my five minutes just at rote.
That's the way I used to do comedy.
I'd memorize every fucking word.
And so I had it all figured out and shit, right?
And so then I go there, I meet Sinbad, right?
So I didn't know who Sinbad was.
And he goes, and he's completely relaxed.
I'm all just thinking about myself.
-Some sort of one-piece outfit.
-He did.
His hair matched his shirt.
-Yeah.
-And they were both orange.
-Yeah, yeah.
-So then he said, he was just so relaxed,
and he said, "Hey, let's go.
I got to get some socks."
So we go to this fucking store, right?
When we first go into the store, there's no one there.
It's a small store.
So there's no one there.
The lady's in the back.
-Yeah.
-So the lady takes a minute to come out.
-Yeah.
-And he's like, where's that lady?
You know, there's nobody here, you know?
And I'm like, yeah.
And so he goes out, he gets his fucking socks.
Nothing happens, right?
So then that night at the gala, I do my carefully constructed material.
-Yeah.
-Sinbad comes out.
He goes, "What the fuck is going on?"
And he doesn't swear.
He goes, "What's going on with these stores with socks?"
I'm like, "Holy shit."
And then he's like, "You go in the store, and there's no one there."
And then people are agreeing with him.
I'm like, "What?"
None of it made any sense, except that he destroyed and I didn't.
That's when I realized that I was missing a whole bunch of stuff.
Because I guess at first you think you're good and stuff like that.
-No, you are good.
And I think that the fact is, really, if you were to look at it in another way,
that if people are able to do an impersonation of you,
that means you have a defined style.
Whereas I guarantee you there's not a lot of people that can do Sinbad,
though you did just do a pretty good one.
I was trying to do it as un-racist as possible.
