There was [ in New York] – some of it was this perception of the Midwest that I realized in this multicultural city that – and I don’t think it’s as true as it was – but everyone was kind of like, what, are you Jewish? Are you Italian? What are you? You know, are you black? Are you da-da-da? Are you Puerto Rican? And so I ended up – my ethnic identity was Midwestern, was white bread. And so it informed a lot of my stand-up.
