One particular story that stood out was Anderson’s relationship with his father.

Instead, he removed all the phone jacks from the house and put a payphone in the family room. This unexpected move left Anderson in disbelief, but it became the inspiration behind his new show.
Despite the challenges, Anderson’s father now enjoys his son’s success and is proud of him. Anderson humorously mentioned that he appreciates being able to pay his father’s bills, even though his father denies ever putting a payphone in the family room and blames Anderson’s mother for the idea.
The interview took a lighthearted turn when a caller from Philadelphia asked Anderson what scares him. In true comedic fashion, Anderson jokingly replied, “Going back home to Compton with a roach-infested house.” This response had the audience laughing and Ellen playfully chimed in.
