00:00My first album was called What Did You Expect and the cover is literally my eighth grade class
00:05picture where I'm flipping the bird and then the next album I made was called Going Ape and I
00:10literally went to a costume shop and said I have no money but if you'll loan me your gorilla costume
00:15I'll give you a plug on my album and they had no idea what I was talking about. By then
00:20I was 32
00:21years old and we smuggled in paper bag we took the gorilla costume into the Bronx Zoo and I went
00:28behind a tree and put on a gorilla suit and I was jumping out and scaring kids in a gorilla
00:33suit
00:34if you could possibly imagine and those were the pictures and that was recorded at the Eastside
00:39Comedy Club in 1980. That's the album I was making and I was hanging the microphones and Eddie Murphy
00:45came up to me and said Jack you're making another album and I said yeah he said Jack I want
00:49to have
00:50an album. I said well Eddie I'm too busy.
