“For the past six years, I have just been floating. Last year, I told myself and my team that when I am coming back to comedy, I am going to do five years and I am quitting. I am quitting in five years, I have got just five years to go with this and I am done.
“I can quit. There is a plan. The way I planned my life, I said when I get to 50, I would drop the mic. “
