“You know, there was nothing in California that we ever went, ‘Oh my God, we’ve got to get out of here.’… I still have a fondness for California,” he said of his recent move. “And like I said, if work comes, it’s probably gonna come out of LA. … I still go back and do TV shows, you know, talk shows and stuff like that.”

The former “The Blue Collar Comedy” tour member lamented that while he doesn’t hate California, he is not a fan of the taxes.

“I had accomplished everything I wanted to do in the business. And then also economically, I mean, the taxes were just becoming insane. And so it was a combination of a lot of things. But I don’t hate California,” he
said
