He set the record by telling host Lorraine: “I put this show on myself. I put my money where my mouth is and I achieved that … It looks like “Oh my God, this is Amazon Prime”, but if they saw the back end, it didn’t look so financial, a lot of stress…
The comedian revealed that he even borrowed money to pursue his dreams: “I had to borrow from other people to say, ‘Listen, I have to do something, I’ve already left the deposit and so on.’
