So how did you - how did that happen? How did the stand-up transition happen? How did you go from being a classically trained actor to doing stand-up? And then I do want to mention for people - I think a lot of people will know this who have followed your career, but you were the exclusive opening act on the Luther Vandross (unintelligible). MARTIN: Now, of course, we're going to talk about all that, but I did want to ask how you got started. Thomas Miles has also branched out as an actor, producer, entrepreneur and host of this year's Essence Music Festival and nephew Tommy, Thomas Miles, is with us now. I was trying not to - I was trying not to laugh. The Lord is - the Lord has been made - well, he going to work on my pancreas. There's nothing wrong with my kidney, deacon. UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: Oh, you're saying - no, sir. We want you to make that kidney like it's been the best kidney. that they removing this pancreas, Lord, we ask that you reach around his back side and we ask that you touch his kidney, Lord. THOMAS MILES: We ask that you take that pancreas and you remove it out successfully, close him back up like it was never - been entered in before. (SOUNDBITE OF "THE STEVE HARVEY MORNING SHOW") Here he is pretending to be a deacon calling a man who's heading into surgery. Thomas Miles does prank phone calls on "The Steve Harvey Morning Show." As co-host, he entertains millions of listeners daily with his Nephew Tommy routine and some of the calls are controversial, so we want to warn you of that in advance. Today, we are joined by a man who brings the laughter through the telephone. All summer long, we are going to be talking to some of the country's most popular entertainers who have brought their unique comedy styles to film, television, stand-up and more. I think most people agree with that and we could all use some laughs, so we decided to launch a new series called Make Me Laugh. I'm Michel Martin and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News.
