Sometimes the mistake I see people make is thinking that they're always going to be up, and I think that's impossible for anyone.
I like grown up comedy.
Marriage isn't a carnival ride.
I always wanted to be as busy as possible so that if one job went away I'd still have plenty of other things to do.
My parents were vegetarians. I'd show up at school, this giant black kid, with none of the cool clothes and a tofu sandwich and celery sticks.
When I get old and slow down I want to look behind me and see all the fire and the wreckage and no stone left unturned.
Pop culture hales you and wants you to fail.
I think diversity in television is important. It's not about trying to fill a quota or satisfy some idea of diversity, but I think what diversity brings to any daypart is more eyeballs, just more opportunity.
I am absolutely a Giants fan and I'm a Dynasty baby so I was a 49ers fan for a long time.
I can tell you this: Stand-up is not glamorous.
So much of a stand-up's life is doing live radio and having to be funny and quick on the spot with these strangers, and sort of surgical in terms of how funny I can be in three minutes.
I talk to grown-ups who are out to have a good time and they want to be spoken to in a different way. I don't want to be pandered to, so I try not to pander.
I'm just going to be the best version of me that I could possibly be and be as funny as I possibly can. I've just got to be myself and hopefully people will find me. And my audience did find me.
One thing we do really well on Archer and one thing I've always tried to do in my comedy and my writing and my podcast is to never speak down to my audience.
