The Daily Show star told Rolling Stone he ‘didn’t feel like a loser’ when listening to The Boss. “When I listened to his music I didn’t feel like a loser,” he said. “I felt like a character in an epic poem about losers.”
“You would go see his show and he would blow your mind for four hours,” he continued. “At a certain point, you’d want to go up onstage and be like, ‘Guys! It’s okay. I got my money’s worth, like, two and a half hours ago. Save yourself! I don’t want you to burn out. You’re giving too much! We do not deserve what you’ve done here tonight! A lot of us are jackasses’.”
