That was an interesting thing I learned I think the first time I did a late night show or something. It was like, "Oh, this is for the camera and a performance that you're giving to the people at home."

I have tons of jokes with moments in them over the years in stand-up that don't get a laugh but I love them so they stay.

If something is very, very funny but possibly controversial, if it's truly funny, then it's worth doing. Things aren't worth doing for the sake of being controversial.

In every case, I find pre-planning noble, but not always that useful in comedy. You know comedy once you're doing it.

I was new to acting on a stage in a narrative as opposed to acting on a stage as a stand-up. And like everything else it's just like comfort level. The first time I did stand-up I was at a place called the B3 in New York on Third and Avenue B and I not only didn't take the mic out of the stand, but I clutched the stand of the entire time.

You all have a relative who is an expert even though they really don't know what they're talking about.

It's really fun to be writing and producing your own sketches. You almost have more control.
