"The son of a Greek Orthodox priest (note: Orthodox priests can marry prior to ordination) and a nutritionist, Martin grew up with his brother and sister in Toms River, New Jersey. His parents co-owned a Greek diner with his grandparents and uncle. Martin, the prototypical good Greek boy, served as an altar boy at church and bused tables at the restaurant. He studied maniacally and, to his delight of his family, received a full scholarship to the New York University School of Law. After completing his second year, however, he said, Fuck it. Im going to be a stand-up comedian.
My wife and I argue about whether it is "more ballsalicious" or "less ballsalicious" to drop out of a top-tier law school after your second year to do open-mike nights in NJ.
Funny clip but Jon just had to pull out the "this is so funny I can't control myself" act that signals the audience to laugh even harder. How contrived and lame.
Viacom needs to make these online videos even smaller and with more compression and much less quality because you can ALMOST see something when watching this awful online video format. I mean, the whole point is to sue everyone to oblivion so they pull all the videos of your shows off their sites, then put the videos up on YOUR site that's almost unwatchable.
