"Comedians walk out, get a feel for the crowd. If it's not going good, we change directions. If we got to drag your momma into this thing, we will. Whatever we got to do"

This quote by Steve Harvey is a metaphor for how comics adjust their efficiency to the audience. He is stating that comedians will take the time to get a sense of the crowd and if the efficiency is not going well, they will alter their approach. This could suggest altering the jokes they inform, the topics they talk about, or the way they connect with the audience. He is also stating that comics will do whatever it requires to make the performance effective, even if it suggests generating something unexpected, like a joke about someone's mother. This quote is a pointer that comics want to go above and beyond to make sure their audience is captivated.
