How did you and John Foo go about trying to re- generate that magic? JH: I completely agree. Fortunately, I think Jon Foo and my chemistry is incredible! Foo is a gen- uine introvert and I’m a genuine extrovert. We’re the perfect ying and yang, on and off camera. KW: Editor/Legist Pa- tricia Turnier asks: How did you prepare to play Detective James Carter? Did you get any advice from Chris Tucker? JH: I’ve been doing stand-up for a strong 8 years and I’ve been the class clown my entire life, all of which pre- pared me for a role of this magnitude. Also, I watched all those buddy cop movies again: “48 Hours,” “Lethal Weap- on,” “Bad Boys,” etcetera. I didn’t get any advice from Tucker, but I as- sume his advice would’ve been, “Have fun and be funny!” KW: Patricia also says: You are an actor, writer and comedian. Which of those endeavors is your favorite? JH: I honestly love all three equally. Each of those have played a part in getting me to where I’m at in my career right now. KW: Patricia has an- other follow-up: Who is your favorite comedian, and do you have a top- ic you won’t touch in a stand-up routine? JH: Richard Pryor is the Godfather of Come- dy. Eddie Murphy is the king. Martin Lawrence is my favorite. Chris Rock is the best. Dave Chap- pelle is a genius. Bernie Mac is the funniest. I’m a comedy nerd. And… rape is typically never funny. KW: Sangeetha Sub- ramanian says: Justin, is comedy like writing where an idea just pops in your mind at any giv- en time? If so, what was the strangest occasion on which a joke came to you? : JH: That’s a pretty accu- rate insight, Sangeetha. A funny idea might pop up in your head or you may see something that you think is funny--then you go to a comedy club, say that thought out loud, and see if every- one else finds it funny as well. Some of my funni- est thoughts come to me while I’m taking a show- er.
