Kevin annoys me. All I have to think about how much he annoys me. I don’t break. I don’t crack. And you know, I’ve worked with a lot of different comedians, you know what I mean from Chris Tucker to Mike Epps and Tracy Morgan. And you know, I’m the ultimate straight man. I never crack because I think I owe it to the performer to let him do his thing.
