David also talked about how the dreams and goals of budding standup comedians have changes over the years. He himself revealed about the time he started his journey in Los Angeles. He said the primary goal at that time was to get on a talk show or a situation comedy, which is not the case with standup comics now.

Continuing on the same thought, David asked Morril, where he sees himself in the next five years.
