My partner, Jeff Ullrich, and I always thought Earwolf was going to be big. There were a couple of studies before we launched saying podcasts were going to really grow. But I remember so many conversations at the beginning where people would say, 'How are you going to make money with this?'

Endings of television shows are sometimes such depressing things. It's like you're not going to hang out with these people anymore, and that's bad enough.

That's one of the benefits of working with a smaller network like IFC. You're awarded more trust, but trust that I really earned.

The best sketch shows are from a group of tight-knit people whove worked together for a really long time.

It really was a unique experience to me to have a television show, Comedy Bang! Bang!, that I really cared about so much, and to know that it was the end, and know that that was the ending of it. We had a wrap party, and we thanked everybody. You don't get that a lot, especially in comedy.

Intimacy is really good. But then again, the first disk on the record is not intimate in the least. It's a really good CD.

Not everyone can be as successful a performer as myself, who gave 10 great performances the first time I ever did comedy, and then toiled in obscurity for years.
