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.

Personally, I don't even read bummer news stories about the environment because it makes me feel helpless to fix anything and reminds me that the general population doesn't treat these issues as an important part of our political life.

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

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

I also didn't consider myself a huge baby person.

In real life, I'm gorgeous, beautiful.

When I was a kid, I was super shy.
