Chris Rock used to do the dishes at Red Lobster

Many don’t know that Chris Rock used to work at the Red Lobster on Queens Boulevard in the year 1989 – washing dishes. He revealed how he would first scrape the leftover meals in the garbage before loading up the dishes in the dishwasher. He also had a funny explanation of why he was given a back-end job. He claims that the owners thought people would look at his “f—ed-up teeth” and think that shrimps are bad for the teeth!

Ray Romano was a futon delivery boy

During his initial years of working as a comedian, Ray Romano worked as a futon delivery person – a job that gave some good perks. For instance, Romano was assigned to deliver a futon to Robert De Niro once, and also helped in loading one into none other than Cher’s car. Many years later, Cher saw this Everybody Loves Raymond star in a restaurant just to tell him that futon was nothing, but “a piece of crap”!

Kristen Wiig was a peach seller

Even though Wiig tried out quite a number of jobs during her twenties, which included a job at Anthropologie, managing flower arrangements, and working on the Universal lot serving food to the executives, selling peaches tops the list of oddest jobs that she did at a farmer’s market. In fact, Wiig fondly remembers those days and revealed that the only question she was asked was the difference between the yellow and the white peaches. As it turns out, the white peaches are a bit sweeter.

Amy Adams had a job at Hooters

This five-time nominee at the Academy Awards used to work at the Hooters when she was an eighteen-year-old. While working at this place, Adams earned enough money to pay her way through college and make her ends meet. She fondly remembers the days and admits it was a great experience for her.
