Why Jay Mohr Is Proud To Give His Wife Credit For Writing His Material

"I'd be a phony if I did not say that."

Some comedians wouldn't want to admit that they don't write all of their own material, but Jay Mohr isn't one of those comedians.

As Mohr told HuffPost Live on Friday, the author behind some of his favorite bits is his wife, Nikki Cox, who provides jokes that Mohr performs exactly as scripted, almost like a play. And he's proud to tell anyone who's interested that his wife is the brains behind the laughs.

"I have no problem with saying, 'Hey, my wife wrote this' -- because she did, and I'd be a phony if I did not say that," Mohr said.
