    I don’t know how the hell Zito gets the guests he gets, but it’s damn good. Not many can talk the talk like Jeff, who’s a bit of a jobber himself.

Celebrity Jobber REWINDS - Warren Haynes​
Q: What about your first job, Warren? Did you have a first job outside of music when you were younger?
Haynes worked at KFC at age 15 for one month. The restaurant let him go because of the hours he was working, and he did not return after turning 16 because he was already in a band.
Celebrity Jobber REWINDS - Warren Haynes​
Q: Have you ever thought about if you weren't playing music? You know, if you didn't get that break, what you'd be doing these days?
Haynes says he might have pursued writing, books, or journalism, though he had played music since age 14 and never seriously considered another path.
Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito - Rob Riggle
Q: Can you name off some of those jobs that you had at the time, and what was your very first paying job?
He first earned money mowing lawns, keeping score at local basketball games and working on his grandfather's farm. Later, in New York, he bartended and did theater work while developing his comedy skills.
Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito - Rob Riggle
Q: Was there a particular phone call or a role that you got? Was there that pivotal moment in your life that happened to you and you said, things are going to be different for me come moving forward?
Riggle says he spent seven years working and training while serving in the Marines and pursuing comedy; getting Saturday Night Live was the breakthrough that made him feel his efforts were paying off.
Celebrity Jobber REWINDS - Adam Gontier
Q: What was like your rock bottom thing? Was there something that happened to you that was like, okay, this is it. I need to get away from this.
He says there was no single defining incident. Over many years, he had repeated low points, including becoming dope sick in Brazil and Australia, and those experiences accumulated.
