problem
I have what I guess is medically known as a farting problem.
clothes nerd get-better
Everybody gets better looking on TV as shows go on.Even the nerds on "Big Bang Theory" are getting better looking. Their clothes are getting nicer. They're better groomed. It works for them.
nice knowing people
One of the worst things about being an actor, besides people being nice to you and getting free stuff all the time - but really, one of the worst things is not knowing what's coming next. You could shoot a pilot, and they could have you on hold for six months waiting to find out what is going to happen with the show, and you're locked into it.
ideas people waiting
There's just a feeling, when you're just an actor - I have great admiration for people who are just actors. I don't understand it, the idea of waiting to get cast, being at the whim of others. I find it incredibly powerless and frightening, so that's why I've been constantly trying to create my own content.
ideas trying one-day
For me, I was literally trying to stay afloat. I never actually thought I would get my own sketch show. So the idea that one day I would have my own show is pretty wild. But once I got it, I thought, 'Yeah, this is exactly what I always wanted to do.
editing together pieces
The one place I've seen something really come together is in editing. Sometimes you can save pieces in a way that you're really shocked.
helping shows
Oftentimes the shows that don't work help you get it right.
family-and-friends shows my-friends
My friends and family always thought I was pretty funny, but I don't know if they thought I was get-my-own-show funny.
trying want comedy
Whether it's corporate investigations or comedy, there are certain inherent truths to trying to get what you want while trying to be a decent person doing it.
otters sea lions
I like an otter. I like a sea lion. I like a walrus. That's my favorite version of a sea creature.
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.
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.
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.
