This interview has been slightly edited and condensed by length and clarity.
9 am: place some table pancakes in Blu Jam Cafe
I would take a quiet morning, I would get up, I did my stretching, really flexible for the big day I am about to have, and then we are arriving in the city. I think I would probably go to Blu Jam Cafe In Melrose [Avenue]. It is this little cute place, and there is generally a line, especially on Sundays. But you can walk through Melrose and make some purchases while waiting for your table. I try to eat a little healthy, so I always get the protein struggle. But then I am a mischievous child and I will ask for blueberries for the table also so that everyone can have a pancake. But most of the time we are only me and my wife, so it is basically a pile of pancakes for both of us, which is a perfect scenario. Maybe I have a pampering or two.
10:30 am: Take some nuts in the original farmers market
Then I love going to Original farmers market And just walking. When I came to the first time [from Iowa at 18]I didn't know what to do or where to go, and people said simply go to the forest and walk. And that's how I found the farmers market. I thought I had discovered this hidden jewel and realized: “Does anyone know about this place?” Then I entered, and yes, people know about this place. I love all small and small positions. I like to have habanero pistachios [from the Magic Nut & Candy Co.] So I will do that and then walk with my hot nuts.
I had my first celebrity seeing here. He was the driver of limousine in the movie “Check blank”, and was in that small and small bar in the middle [Bar 326] Drink a beer. I don't even know the boy's name, but he let me see someone he had seen in the movies. I wanted to sit next to him and ask for a beer, but I was only 18 years old, so I couldn't do it. So he was eating hot nuts from afar looking at the driver of limousine from “blank check”, and he could have been George Clooney for me.
Noon: I made a matinee in the forest
ID [hang at the Farmers Market] During maybe an hour or so and then catch a matiné in [AMC the Grove 14]. Although it is a large theater chain. I love the forest and I love that theater. It is one of those places where my wife and I have been going for years, and it was one of the first cinemas that I went when I arrived in Los Angeles, that and the Arclight, Rip. The last movie I saw [at the Grove] It was “Gladiator II”.
3 pm: enjoy an appointment with Mrs. Pac-Man
Then I could go to BARCADE In Highland Park. It is a kind of generation, the millennials, who really went to the arcades in the shopping centers. Now we can play all these old arcade games that we remember from our childhood and we have a couple of beers while we do. Violently, [the game I’m really good at] It is “Mrs. Pac-Man”. It is the most nerd Nerd game, but I will spend 50 cents and play for an hour. And all my friends say: “Do you want to do something else or go to another place?” And I say: “I'm fine here.” In fact, I am an idiot about “Mrs. Pac-Man” that I have a table version in my house, but when I go to Barcade I will continue playing. Don't tell my wife, but Mrs. Pac-Man is my lover.
5 pm: immerse in a French sauce
Then I would probably go to Philippe the original center. The rectum [classic beef] French immersion and potato salad are my blow one and two. I like to see the guys who have worked there for 40 years. Simply demonstrates how good they are for their people [and] What a good work environment should be. They have worked in the same place for 40 years and can still find happiness doing the same job they have done forever. He always smiles on my face.
7 PM: Take a clippers game
Or I would stay in the center, maybe there would be a Dodger game underway, or make the long trip to the intuit dome and catch a Los Angeles Clippers game. His stadium is really impressive; I have been four or five times this season, and you only enter and [the cameras] Scan your face. Then you can go to the small store and simply take a popcorn and a soda and walk directly. And scan your face [and charges your credit card]. At first I thought: “My God! I am so famous that they recognized me! And then I realized that my face was on the screen. And [the biometric ticketing and concessions] It allows you to spend more time in your seat watching the game.
This is a city of the Lakers, and I know. But I bet the clippers about 15 years ago, and I'm still riding with them. And I will travel with them forever. I had seasonal tickets for about eight years, and I loved it. But then I was out of the city so much working that I couldn't end up going to so many games. My [favorite] Clipper of all time would have to be Blake Griffin. When he joined, he turned the clippers of a garbage basketball team in the days of Lob City, which were the funniest. They were Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan, and suddenly it was a show. And it was a better show than what the Lakers were doing at that time, so it was exciting to be a fan of clippers. Now we have Kawhi [Leonard] and James Harden, and is a different type of show. And, honestly, it could be a better basketball. But I miss those lists.
9:30 pm: The night ends where the race began
I think I would probably try to finish my night in the Hollywood improvisation Comedy Club That was my first job when I moved to Los Angeles when I was just a child. He responded to the phones during the day, and at night, he would be the door of the door. When I left, because my comedy and my career as an actor were taking off, they told me that it had been the worst type of door in what was then their 35 -year history. He was 20 years old, but it seemed that he was 15 years old. And my voice had not yet fallen. Every time there were parcies or someone was drunk and noisy, instead of telling them to leave, I would have to go looking for someone else to tell them to leave.
But working there really was my great rest because I could see the best comedians in the world every night. And then, the manager, Reeta Piazza, told me that he should start carrying out a change of outfits in case a comic was not shown. I did it, and when a comic was late, they asked me if I could kill five or 10 minutes. I finally started attracting attention and I got [invited to become one of the New Faces of Comedy at] The Montreal comedy festival because they had seen me there. And then I caught the attention of Comedy Central, which led me to get my “World” program.
[Before that,] We could try to tighten some sushi in Yamashiro. As kitschy as it is, it has excellent views of the city, and Sushi is also quite good.
11 PM: Surf the Instagram algorithm
I would like to say that I only open the Times and I receive my news or do something useful. [before bedtime]But I probably just looked at Instagram and I would see my algorithm feed more garbage. [It’s] A little shameful [because] All babies give their parents a side eye or adolescents trying to fight their teachers, because my algorithm is everywhere.
