My goal was to do something that incorporated all the stuff I do and have it feel like something new, like it was hopefully taking the stand-up special paradigm and turning it on its head.

I like an otter. I like a sea lion. I like a walrus. That's my favorite version of a sea creature.

In high school, I went to a place called the Mountain School. It's on a farm in Vermont, and I read Emerson and Thoreau and ran around the woods. Now I go hiking with a bunch of my comedy buddies. We talk about our emotions. I also do a lot of writing on hikes, just to get the blood flowing and the ideas moving.

Don't watch Kroll Show if you don't have a Nielsen box. I honestly don't care. Feel free to DVR it and not watch it because that will somehow help my ratings maybe, but honestly I'm talking to the four of you with a Nielsen box. If you have a Nielsen box, like, who are you? Where do you live? How do I find you? You're a unicorn and I don't believe that you exist.

My thinking is, if we're setting out to make comedy in which nothing is off limits, then everybody is fair game.

I'm really into pandas right now. They're really scratching an itch for me. They're so goddamn cute.

There's nothing better for hosting a show than a bunch of people daytime-whiskey drunk.
