For someone in the middle of a comedy tour, Nick Cannon was sounding a little melancholy Thursday morning. The America's Got Talent emcee's plane hadn't even taken off from Los Angeles, and he was already missing his wife of two years, Mariah Carey.
``[The traveling] is a constant grind,'' said Cannon, 29. ``Sometimes she comes with me. I even try my stuff on her. Mariah helps me -- she's one of the funniest people I know.''
The 40-year-old pop diva is included in his act, which he'll do at the Fort Lauderdale Improv Friday and Saturday nights. ``How could you not talk about it when you're married to one of the most famous women in the world?''
Cannon actually started out as a comedian, appearing on Nickelodeon's All That in the '90s.
``I love doing standup,'' the California native says. ``It's therapeutic for me.''
A major inspiration: activist/comedian Dick Gregory.
``He's the best -- a great artist,'' Cannon said, ``And he has the history to prove it.''
Sorry, but we have to ask: What of those pregnancy rumors?
``We don't pay much attention to it. We live our lives,'' he said. ``When we get pregnant, it'll be a secret.''
