You have to lead, in the case of a game show, a contestant through the architecture of the show. So there's a lot of rules there, literal and implied, that you have to navigate.

The illustrators work so much harder on the books than the writers do. I mean, that's so much work doing what they do, and it's terrible for them.

I don't chase after things, but I put forward the effort and know the rest of it is out of my hands.

Hosting a show, even a talk show or a game show, there's so much business you have to conduct. There's so much guiding you have to do.

It's such a deliberate thing to sit down and write a tweet. You're putting yourself out there in a very deliberate way, and over however many tweets, you start to create a character for yourself.

With stand-up, you can be as freeform as you want to be. You can say what you want, how you want, at any moment without constraint.

I think in doing stand-up there are no rules and there's no architecture.
