Rojo Perez (Conan/HBO) talks about his family moving back to Puerto Rico from NYC when he was 8, not knowing how to speak spanish in a spanish speaking school, working for his dad's wood borrowing business in a small Puerto Rican town, moving back to the States as a bartender, and ending up in New York selling drinks at a comedy club before it all worked out.
