I really think of it - acting and writing and producing, whatever - as shipping. You gotta ship. Put the widget together in the easiest, quickest way possible and ship the product.

I am a man who used to wear the tights. We traveled the country doing two Shakespeare plays for bored college students for about a year. I think I'd probably still be doing it now if I hadn't just randomly decided to go to a sketch group audition. That led to doing improv, which led to the Daily Show. But it was fun while it lasted.

Why should I be feeling tension? It's The Daily Show.

I remember saying in college that I would never do commercials.

I was going out for absolutely everything that was in Backstage.

Anything that you can do a tiny bit of research about, I'll turn it into an obsession.

I don't know how this company got the name National Shakespeare Company, because it was literally like retards employing retards.
