“I think that what was the most out to me was the influence his comedy had on comedians that I grew up [watching]“Shared Chris.
“I loved Conan O’Brien, Mr. Show with Bob and David, kids in the hall. Hearing Conan O’Brien talking about how he was such a direct influence, my father on him, and then for me to be such a fan of him – to see kind of connective tissue that my father had in the kingdom of comedy was really an overwhelming feeling.”
