1. When my bananas start to go rotten, I put them in a Ziploc bag and freeze them so I can make smoothies in the future.

2. Before I go to sleep every night I channel surf between

CNN, MSNBC and Fox News. I always end up watching The

11th Hour With Brian Williams. He’s my favorite, and handsome as all hell.

3. I have a dog named Buster. 4. My movie Guest House was one of the most streamed comedies of 2020.

5. I have to wear glasses when I read books and menus.

6. I love doing stand-up comedy at small venues across the country and getting to know all sorts of Americans.

7. All I think about is comedy. 8. My room’s always a mess. 9. I do a weekly workout show on YouTube called Sweatin with the Wiez.

10. I have a podcast called Random Rants, which is exactly what it sounds like.

11. As a kid, I’d watch Robin Williams and Richard Pryor practice stand-up at the Comedy Store, which my mom owned.

17. Me and my brother, Scott, have recently become best friends again after a fight.

18. I have a 1969 Road Runner convertibl­e that I bought myself in 1994 after I did the movie In the Army Now. It’s the same car that I almost ran over Verne Troyer in in my cult classic Pauly Shore Is Dead.

20. I used to play on the same Little League team as Bob Dylan’s son Sam.
