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.
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.
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.
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."
theater audience trapped
I prefer the old theaters because the audience is... trapped.
hotel-lobby people watches
I can walk through a hotel lobby and watch people at the desk and see what they're doing. People don't look at me. They don't even know I'm there.
laundry faster pta
You'll fold faster than Superman on laundry day
heads-up
Keep your head up in failure and your head down in success.
wrestling fighting men
If professional wrestling did not exist, could you come up with this idea? Could you envision the popularity of huge men in tiny bathing suits, pretending to fight?
nice water surfing
A movie is kind of like being the captain of a ship, which is nice, but when I perform by myself it's just surfing on the water and nobody really knows what happens.
