Emo Philips (born February 7, 1956) is an American actor, stand-up comedian, writer and producer. His stand-up comedy persona makes use of paraprosdokians spoken in a wandering falsetto tone of voice. The confused, childlike delivery of his material produces the intended comic timing in a manner invoking the “wisdom of children” or the idiot savant.

In retrospect, it was a mistake not being born a billionaire. Not that money matters, just because it does! #MakingBanks
