At some point I'm just going to have to apologize to my audience for my own failures.

It is nigh impossible to carry on in some comedic fashion in today's environment. It's like trying to run a day-care center in a slaughterhouse. The environs are just not [long, long, sigh] well suited to the task.

"Be funny, be funny, be funny," I say in the morning. But by the afternoon I start lazily fantasizing about being a serial killer. Like one of the guys I see in those crime novels. "What did it? What caused Chris to turn from a promising, lucrative, diamonds-and-champagne comedy career and instead just start killing people?"

I do have professional standards, you know. And I want you to know that even though I am not getting my ticket receipts --which I am severely, severely pissed off about, by the way-- I will strive to keep it upbeat and fun.
