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

I'm not buying a boat because of writing skits.

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

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 don't know if the idea of a career in show business or in the arts in general was looked down upon as much as by baby boomers as it was by their parents.

I am now The Establishment. There's nothing I can do about it.

I've never been a shirt-off, pants-off kind of comedy guy.
