When you're in front of an audience, you know if it didn't work. I get very nervous and have a fear of failure that is much more profound than in the podcast world.

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.

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.

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.

It's hard for me to shut off my writer brain completely.
