The more you progress, the more you learn. I try to pay attention to ticket counts, draws, guarantees and bonuses. I look at my deals closely these days and try to come up with other projects and ideas, since this business [comedy] is about creating content.

I want to just at least make it weird for you to watch Cosby Show reruns.

I didn't audition for 'SNL.' I sent in a tape to 'SNL' the year before I started writing there, but I got the job there through doing stand-up on Fallon.

When somebody mangles one of my jokes, that bothers me more than somebody saying that I'm the worst comedian ever.

I love stand-up. I look at it as a way to always stay productive. I couldn't imagine only being an actor or a writer. Because what the hell do I do when I'm not working? Mope?

I'm a dumb guy. My point of view is limited.

My dad named me after Hannibal Barca, the Carthaginian general who attacked Rome. But nobody knows about him.
