Comedian Paul Rodriguez Skewers Verizon, Will Smith

Pioneering Latino stand-up Paul Rodriguez in is the middle of wrapping up a second weekend of LA performances of his first-ever one-man show, Just for the Record. He anchors the wide-ranging anecdotes around the idea that before he was hired by Verizon for those new TV ads, the company wanted to make sure he was psychologically sound by reviewing his personal history.

At one point in the show’s accompanying slide roll, a photo of Will Smith pops up, to which Rodriguez comments, “You forgot who your friends were – f*ck you!” Ouch.
