cities kansas-city together
Robert Altman made that movie Kansas City about the jazz scene in the city, and we saw that band all together, and that was an amazing show. That's what I got into. I like jazz.
goal special something-new
For me, the goal wasn't to turn the stand-up special on its head, but to do what I do specifically, and hopefully that reads as something new.
ideas numbers people
I like the idea of people getting to know you from different angles and then realizing "That guy is also that guy!" "Oh, he does that!" I really like having a number of different ways to reach people.
goal special stuff
My goal was to do something that incorporated all the stuff I do and have it feel like something new, like it was hopefully taking the stand-up special paradigm and turning it on its head.
sacred wikipedia internet
I guess there should be somewhere on the Internet that feels like a source of sacred truth. But Wikipedia sure isn't it.
unbeatable immediacy interaction
The immediacy of public interaction is just unbeatable.
teacher giving perfect
This is a perfect example of the power and ridiculousness of a website like Wikipedia. I did give a slightly contentious graduation speech, where I decided not to be funny as my classmates had hoped, which was why I was chosen. I was not valedictorian, that's for sure. Instead, I talked about the failure to communicate between the administration and the teachers and students. That's what was contentious about it. At some point, somebody wrote about that incident on my Wikipedia page. And then somebody added the bit about me exposing my genitals to the crowd.
mind boring comic
There's one theory that the funnier a comic is in his act, the more mind-numbingly boring he'll be when he's not holding a microphone.
everyday genius way
Seinfeld has his way of telling jokes - and I'm not comparing myself to Seinfeld, his genius is observing the small details of everyday life and finding humor in it.
suffering kitchen sometimes
Sometimes shows suffer from having many cooks in the kitchen.
cheesy sound comedy
I know it's going to sound cheesy, but I love show business. I love doing comedy, I love that I get to do all this with my friends.
way tvs it-takes-time
My experience in TV is that it takes time for shows to find their way.
firsts week judged
What business would judged on the first week that it's in business?
that-one-person littles pieces
A lot of times, you're circling around a lot of things, and then you find that one person, or that little piece of dialogue, and it doesn't always have to be in person.
