Advice from the Green Room: What's the best advice you've ever received from another comic?


Jim Breuer: Never, ever, ever, ever, EVER worry about what another comedian thinks of YOU. Because YOU are not there to entertain a COMEDIAN. You're there to entertain PEOPLE. So some of your peers I would never worry about.
