“So I live in a very small town in San Diego, and it’s amazing, and my neighbors are incredible people,” he explained at the taping, per People.

“And when we had our first kid, we moved out there three years ago.”

“I wanted to leave L.A. and raise a family outside of Los Angeles,” he revealed, shouting out his “cool” neighbors.

“They never treat me weird or ask me about my job or anything. And my neighbor is one of my great friends, Dr. Sean, he never asked. He’s here tonight. He never bothered me or was like, ‘Oh, what’s this person like?’ ”

“I grew up here. L.A. was such a cool place to grow up in the ’90s because you could go skateboard downtown or you could sneak into a movie premiere or you could go sneak into a comedy club and see Chris Rock or something,” he reflected of growing up in LA.

“You had access to show business stuff, but you had access to punk and skating and graffiti and all the naughty stuff. And there was no internet. It was just so awesome.”
