I had a bathing suit and a towel, and you put it over your head and you do the cold shuffle?” “I’m doing the cold shuffle in this room that had protective carpets down and then, just here, there was like a little pocket, and my foot got caught in the pocket in the shuffle, and then I went [down], but [my knee] didn’t follow,” he continued. “And then, in slow motion, I went falling.

My arms came out, but then my knee failed because it’s got some stuff, and I spiked it. And my patella — kneecap — cracked like a potato chip.” He originally thought he was not injured, but then “my knee was blowing up” and he knew something was wrong. “Comedy’s hard, man,” he joked.
