Even comedians need to learn the art of meditation. During a segment in “Good Morning America,” the actor mentioned how he was handling being the star of the show, the executive producer, head writer, and the head of casting for a massive show for over nine years. “And I’m just a normal guy. And that was not a normal situation to be in… So, I meditated every day. And that’s how I survived the nine years,” he added.
