With a project like 'Teachers Lounge,' you're wearing a lot of hats, so it demands hard work and focus if you want to do it right.

Chris Rock went from a guy whose name you knew from SNL to a legendary comedian by working his ass off.

Comics can definitely be subversive on the whole, but it's a stylistic thing.

I learned so many things from Louis C.K., but the most impactful thing was witnessing his work ethic. He works harder than anyone I've ever been around in comedy. And he takes risks and doesn't dwell on what might be perceived as failures.

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

I often think about my future wife and how lax she's been about getting in touch with me.

Opening for Louis C.K. during his "Hilarious" tour was a great experience for me. He is the generation just ahead of me, because he started so young. So it's like he's sort of a senior and I'm a junior, in terms of the business. He's done so much - from writing on Conan and Chris Rock to writing and directing movies, having his own HBO show, "Lucky Louie," and now having "Louie" on FX.
