Stuff that I write isn't as similar to the stuff that I'm in, but I don't really care. I just do comedy.
Life is hard. Not great. Kind of tragic.
When I was in high school, I was doing all the plays. My drama teacher, Melody Duggan, was the one one who first made me do stand-up. She's the origin of the whole thing; it's all her. In high school in Denver, that was kind of the beginning of it all.
I sound like a chain-smoking drag queen after a hard night of singing 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon'.
I'm so absolutely pro-Denver. I wrote a fake hip-hop song about Denver. I've been claiming Denver. Part of the joke of the song is nobody was really claiming Denver - no rappers, no comedians.
J. P. Morgan. He was kind of a douche.
I feel like I've forcefully been thrust into the tech world, and I've enjoyed every minute of it.
You just put yourself into your work, and you can do anything you want, depending on how hard you want to work for it.
Steve Martin's comedy albums are so ridiculous.
Everybody asks me what it was like to be in my underwear for my network television debut.
I'm a stand-up. I'm never worried about getting my next role. That's never distressing to me.
I actually prefer Twitter as a medium, and I also got into Periscope for a second, but I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it. I can't figure out if the only important thing about it is the live broadcast, or if it's an interesting kind of way to log what you do.
'Silicon Valley' is a great show. It might be the best comedy on television. And if the Academy feels I have stood out to the point of deserving an award, I won't pawn it.
I don't prepare for anything very well. I am not a good actor. I don't read scripts.
I always like to have a buffer between me and journalism in general. Not just a reporter, but journalism.
There's nothing I would love more than to host an awards show where I'm nominated for an award - that is so funny to me.
A mother will come up to me and say, 'Will you meet my son? He loves you. He watched 'How to Train Your Dragon' a thousand times.'
I am trying to do comedy on every single medium. I consider myself a public servant.
It's much better to wreak havoc on a show and be a maniac than promote myself. Plugs and anecdotes aren't really in line with my beliefs. Besides, if someone sees me on a morning show and thinks, 'That's not funny; this guy is crazy,' then I don't want them to come to the show anyway.
Funny is as funny does, and funny puts on a walrus mask and slowly gyrates in a mall food court. I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.
