I think Comedy Central and probably all channels are on their way toward being apps accessible on whatever the Roku of the future is.

There's a way of doing comedy that feels true to the person doing it, that doesn't feel like clown-work or silly faces and antics, but that feels real - like you're playing a real person who has real thoughts and feelings, and it's very grounded. I started to watch all comedy through that prism.

I have a couple of ideas for shows that I would love to bring to fruition in some way at some point.

I can't say the connection is one I've made consciously, but quitting drinking allowed me to be less selfish. My wife would definitely say that one of the major benefits of me quitting drinking is that I have more time and focus for other people.

If anything, in the podcast world, I'm relieved that I don't have to dress like the character. I don't necessarily have to do all of the physicality that conveys the character, but do as much as I need to help me feel like the character.

In sketch comedy, wear your character like a hat, not a suit of armor.

It's great fun to memorize somebody's biography, and then liberally play with the real facts of their life and go a step beyond reality.
