I was sort of the class-clown type, and I was also in school plays, and I always liked comedy.

The first time we put Debbie Downer on the show, I had a giggle fit that I couldn't control, and the whole cast ended up breaking so hard we could never quite recover.

Many comedians have a dark side that lets them take a negative thing and turn it funny.

When I was a kid, I was super shy.

I didn't originally intend on writing a book. I started writing during the day to feel like I was accomplishing something creative.

But I majored in Drama, modified with Psychology.

Actually, I didn't like Dartmouth very much, but the whole theater scene I really liked.
