At roasts, most comedians say things, especially about other comedians, that they probably wouldn’t want to say in front of that person’s family.

The E Trade Baby Voiced by Pete Holmes Quits E Trade

The letter of resignation at the link might very well be, ironically, the very last words that E Trade Baby speaks. Some of you might know that Pete Holmes is the voice of the E Trade Baby (if you don’t, perhaps you might just have had your mind blown for a second) and, from this last spot, you will know that the E Trade Baby doesn’t share the spotlight, especially with cats.

Your guess is as good as ours as to whether this has something to do with Pete hosting his own late night talk show, keeping his immensely successful podcast going, and continuing to do stand-up.
