I feel like marriage is a sacred institution that should only be between a man and a woman. If a gay couple wants to be married, why can't they just be satisfied with a civil union? Why do they have to get "married"?
Michael ShowalterThat's the thing that most people don't realize. In real life, comedians aren't funny. They save it. They save it up.
Michael ShowalterI'm not sure why I like cats so much. I mean, they're really cute obviously. They are both wild and domestic at the same time.
Michael ShowalterI think gay people deserve all the same rights as everybody else, it's just that marriage is specifically for a man and a woman.
Michael ShowalterI tend to a lot of improvisational ranting, and that's fun. For me, stand-up has been, performance-wise, a really good outlet.
Michael ShowalterA big reason why we were able to and have been able to continue to succeed is that we had a very intense work ethic, right from the beginning. There was a do-or-die attitude toward the work. It wasn't seen as a little "club." It was like, "This is your life." We would spend hours and hours rehearsing and endlessly rewriting. We took it very seriously right off the bat. And we were also extremely critical of each other, which was another thing that was unique. A lot of comedy ensembles have a hard time being critical of each other, because they don't want to hurt each other's feelings.
