    Just watched his special with my 80 yr old mother and we cracked up the whole time. A much needed laugh thank you Alex 💜👏

    Great interview, great questions! Alex was able to answer thoughtfully because you never interrupted him. Important for several reasons, but especially because being thoughtful is what propels his humor. I can't wait to see what he does next!
