Shervin Lainez Josh Johnson is trying out bits on me in the back of a black Cadillac.
We’re making conversation on the way from a “Daily Show” promotional event to his set at the New York Comedy Club in Midtown, and I can sense when small talk starts inching toward a punchline.
He asks how I like New York and then compares the Big Apple to that one childhood friend with a rough home life: “He’s the first to help you out when you’re in trouble, but then he’ll hand you a cigarette and you’re like, ‘Bro, we’re 8.’”
