People don't come to a comedy club simply to hear someone's thoughts, no matter how profound.

Louis CK went from a writer/comedian to winning Emmys for his own show because he works his ass off.

TV is a different animal. It's not a club set. As you said, you do short sets on TV - about five minutes. So you have to get that rhythm down and also be aware of the camera so you're connecting with the viewers at home as well as the studio audience. It's a different muscle to develop.

Like once we picked Jim Norton as the head of security, the writing flows pretty easily.

I'm just looking for a little mystery in life... like things you can't explain. Like, you go to Mexico, they tell you don't drink the water. You go to any diner here, who brings you the water? It's a mystery.

After twenty plus years of performing hundreds of shows a year, I prefer to try things out on stage rather than for friends. I don't see the benefit in that, really.

You'll get them tomorrow. You gave it a good shot. Keep your chin up.
