It was my second show as a writer, and Justin Timberlake was just coming off boy-band stardom. People were rolling their eyes, but I used to watch the Mickey Mouse Club, and I knew all those kids were talented as hell. Justin was as comfortable on camera in that first episode as any of our cast members.

I haven't really had too many bosses. Any bad boss I had probably was because I was a bad employee.

I was a straight man long before I knew what it was called. I was just the boring one.

You start at 'SNL' when you're young and hungry, but I don't want my pro years to be my 'SNL' years.
