Summary

This quote suggests that having a comfortable and successful life, characterized by a good childhood, a happy marriage, and financial stability, can hinder one's ability to become a successful comedian. The idea here is that comedians often draw humor from their struggles and challenges in life, and a privileged background may lack the necessary depth and perspective to connect with audiences on a comedic level. Hence, the quote implies that adversity and hardships can provide the necessary material and insights for a comedian to be truly relatable and funny.
