For My Next Trick I Will Make

Most Of My Comedy Writing Happens Through Improvisation On Stage; Doing It In The Moment. Going Up With An Idea And Fleshing It Out Over Time On Stage And In Front Of People Until It Becomes A Full Bit.

All I Can Do In The Context Of Pursuing Any Sort Of Tv Thing, And All I've Done In The Past, Is Offer Your Life At Any Given Point In Time To Whatever Situation You're In.

The Truth Is, I Can’t Read Anything With Any Distance. Every Book Is A Self-help Book To Me. Just Having Them Makes Me Feel Better.

I Came Upon Whatever I'm Doing Organically. I Didn't Study Anything. I Don't Have Any Real Aspirations Other Than To Connect With Somebody, And To Have The Conversation Be Genuine. That's The Best That Can Happen. Even If It Only Happens For 10 Minutes In An Episode. But I Think What People Forget Is That You Don't Have To Try To Get A Comedian To Be Funny. Comedians Are Innately Funny. That The Real Challenge Of Talking To Them Is To Get Them Talking About Real Things And Then See Where They Need To Be Funny. And Let Them Do That On Their Own Volition.

I Was Also A Big Woody Allen Fan. When I Got Into College I Listened To Lenny Bruce But It's Taken Me Years To Put Him Into Context Historically And Really Get What He Did.
