Gerund

I got started writing and then eventually stumbled on camera.

Past simple

Yeah, I wrote for 30 Rock for three years.

You got that job pretty quickly after college, right?

I was, like, the youngest person that I like.

I, like, wore, like, pink hoodies and stuff.

Cause I was like, we're taking it back from girls Pink, you know, or something.

But I. I don't remember that there was a time where we ever had pink.

I think it was in the middle ages, when people still, like, pooped in the streets.

I would think you're working with a lot of very talented people.

The first day, it was, like, really rainy, I remember.

And I was like, no, man, I'm not trying to grow.

He's like, you trying to grow dreadlocks in your hair?

And he was like, if you want to grow dreadlocks in your hair, what you do is you get your girlfriend pregnant and then put the placenta in your hair.

And I was like, that guy signs my checks.

Ok, Now, I'm told you just got into Twitter.

Well, I mean, I've been on it for a little while now.

Wait, your dad was on Twitter before you.

And people always tweet me, like, you need to be funnier.

He's like, your dad's killing you right now.

But, like, my dad was on Twitter first, so he took Donald Glover, and

So I was getting, like, exactly what it looks like.

You know, just like, a lot of being like, oh, hey.

Like, I would tweet something like, hey, I'm going to eat a chipotle.

And they'd be like, yeah, I bet you love burritos, big boy.

Cause my mom was on Twitter, too, and she changed her name, too.

She just does it to keep tabs on me and Oprah.

But, like, she, like, definitely was on there for a little bit, but

Her name's Beverly, but she goes by Bong.

So hers was Bong Lover, and she was getting a lot of weird tweets.

She's always trying to, like, do, like, she's pretty savvy.

When I, like, told her I was gonna be on Conan, she sent me a tweet, a text that was like, you demand, like, you, like, one letter, like, you da man.

It's in response to I'm going on Conan's show.
