"I am so blessed with my kids," he said during an appearance on Marc Maron's WTF podcast. "I don't have one bad seed. I don't have any like 'Oh you are the one.' I don't have any of that. My kids are so great, normal people — and nobody is like the Hollywood jerk kid." The comedian's first child was born in 1989 with then-girlfriend Paulette McNeely and his most recent child was born in 2018 with his fiancée Paige Butcher.
