I had been meaning to say: In an earlier joke I made a sock-in-the-dryer reference.
I don't know what comedian, if any in particular, had become associated with the "sock in the dryer" routine. Or even if this is just an urban legend that I had somehow picked up somewhere. I don't watch much TV, so there is a "lot" that I "don't" know.
When I first decided that I would become a pop icon, I watched that documentary about Jerry Seinfeld.
It followed him over a year or two as he developed an entirely new act after his Seinfeld show.
I also bought this DVD collection called "America's Funniest HaHa Time." I hated everyone on it immediately.
The comedian who got me through those excruciatingly painful first six months was Jerry Seinfeld.
He really seemed to get it.
