From Quiz A Carrey-zy Quiz
Answer:
Waitress
One night while performing at the Comedy Store, Carrey had an opportunity to meet Rodney Dangerfield. Dangerfield thought that Carrey was too funny, and decided that he wanted him on tour with him. Jim was astounded and flabbergasted that Rodney Dangerfield wanted him as part of his comedy tour...a tour which was to start in Las Vegas, Nevada at Caesar's Palace. Jim was starting to realise his aspirations of being a full-time comedian.
At the same time that Carrey was starting to make a name for himself, but not really knowing how to get to that next step, there were other comedians, such as Arsenio Hall, that were getting the attention and appearing on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show".
Eventually, Carrey was invited to appear on the "Tonight Show", however, as with other guests, Carson often had them sit on the couch next to his desk and had a good chat with them. That was not to be the case with Jim.
Pressure was mounting from Jim himself to finally break through and hit pay dirt...he was the only one that thought everything was moving way too slow.
During this time, Jim was starting to appear in very small parts in films, mostly in Canadian film productions. Carrey's first Hollywood film debut came in the form of appearing as a journalist's cameraman who went undercover to expose a massage parlour that was doing more than just massages, in Anthony Kramreither's 1983 film "All in Good Taste".
Then in 1983, he appeared in Glen Salzman's and Rebecca Yates' film, "Introducing...Janet", where he appeared as a comedian, who helps an overweight girl understand and appreciate herself and develop her comedic talent. Finally, Carrey got his major film role. He was signed to star alongside Lauren Hutton in Howard Storm's 1985 film "Once Bitten", where he portrayed a victim of the Countess and once he is bitten by her, finds himself sleeping all day and eating raw meat.
After a stellar performance in "Once Bitten", Carrey again found himself out of work. He decided that he wanted to be at a certain place in his career within a few years, and so being the go-getter that he was, he duplicated a check on an index card and wrote the "check" out to himself for $10,000,000, and posted dated the check for Thanksgiving Day in 1995. As his childhood has shown, Jim always knew how to dream big.
In 1986, while performing at a local comedy venue, Jim met Melissa Wormer. Melissa was a waitress, and she usually worked during Jim's performances, having got to know Jim, she fell in love with him. A year later, in 1987, the couple married and had one child, Jane Erin. Jim and Melissa's happiness would not be long lasting.
Due to Jim's ever increasing demands on his time, he lost out on many moments with his wife and daughter and, eventually, the couple divorced in December 1995.
