Meaning of the quote
Howie Mandel, a famous comedian, is saying that he has had some very difficult and scary experiences in his job, like being chased, pushed, yelled at, and even threatened. But he did all of these things because his goal was to entertain people and make them laugh. Even though it was hard and scary at times, he was willing to go through those experiences to bring joy to his audience.
