There’s a need to perfect things in a writers’ room, and that can take a lot of fun out of a show sometimes. It’s a struggle. It depends on your personality. Some people love working with a writing staff. I had a great writing staff on Lucky Louie, but it sometimes felt like Congress or something.

It’s been a very old thing for people to gather together and laugh at stuff. The first comedian in America really was Abraham Lincoln.

He was just a hilarious speaker and that’s what he did.
