comedic geared specific strength subject tone written
It really was written and geared for a very specific audience, but our comedic strength trumps all of that. The subject matter, the dialogue, the tone isn't right for most of America.
comedic energy happening holds intense scene strong tried
The show had an intense comedic energy that you do not find on other shows. There's an intense comedic scene happening all the time, and that's the way we tried to make them, really packed, tight, strong ? and that just holds the audience.
guest home inviting tv
When you make a TV show, they always say you're a guest in someone's home. Online, you're a guest in someone's face. So that's why I try to make it sound and look and feel very inviting and attractive, because I know that I'm in your face.
couple frustrated good holds love mess point
You want to do good things, and once you've done a couple of good things in a row, you think 'Well gee, let's not mess this up.' But I am lucky at this point that I have something I really love to do, and it completely holds my attention. I never feel frustrated by it.
disregard fallen total trap
We've fallen into a trap of ever-widening orbits of contact, and there is a total disregard for the present moment.
clubs concerts stuff time year
I do probably 60 concerts a year in the States. And I go out to clubs in the week. I'm doing new stuff all the time.
laughs
A lot of times, you could play me just the laughs from my set, and I could tell you, from the laugh, what the joke was. Because they match.
sportsman
I think of myself more as a sportsman than I do an artist.
craft love people seem suffer
I kind of thought that stand-up comedy would suffer from the Internet because people seem to know more about the craft of stand-up than ever before. I thought it would seem trite. Kind of like if you know more about magicians, you wouldn't love them.
humor
Nobody enjoys the 'little show about nothing' humor more than me, but that is never the way I look at it.
looks chickens i-can
I can't eat chicken and look at strippers at the same time.
tired im-tired rich
I'm old, I'm rich and I'm tired.
humorous phones wish
I wish I was a phone machine. I wish if I saw somebody on the street I didn't want to talk to I could just go, "Excuse me, I'm not here right now, If you just leave a message, I can walk away."
morning sleep kids
Sometimes they'll make little Play-Doh animals, and when they go to sleep, I'll break the heads off the animals and put them at the foot of their beds for them to discover in the morning. Nothing wrong with sending your kids a little Sicilian message.
