If you creep on his Instagram (which you will, don’t lie), you’ll see a man who looks like he’s 50 going on 35. He posts pictures with his family, his beard, and a perpetual look of slight annoyance. That’s the look of a man who’s been doing comedy long enough to know better.
He’s also not afraid to joke about getting older. In one bit, he said, “I’m at the age where I bend down to pick something up, and I ask myself, ‘Is this worth the recovery time?’” Yes, Brian. Yes it is. That’s wisdom, baby.
