Whether it's corporate investigations or comedy, there are certain inherent truths to trying to get what you want while trying to be a decent person doing it.

I feel incredibly lucky at this moment in my career to get paid to do basically exactly what I always wanted to do. I appreciate that in general. But you know, like any job, a job is a job, and there are days that are going to be boring, or you have a boss you don't like, or people you work with.

Mel Brooks came to see Oh, Hello in L.A. Mulaney and I had a meeting with him, and we invited him to come to the show, and he saw the Oh, Hello show live in L.A. To me, he's the most famous person. Having him come to our show that was so inspired by both of us loving The Producers and all his movies.

Oftentimes the shows that don't work help you get it right.

I like to think that the stuff I do is oftentimes collaborative, so to have other people in it felt natural.

Contrary to widespread belief, I do know something about science.

I think my goal was just to do comedy, honestly. It still is. Whatever form that took or takes, it doesn't matter.
