character italian names
I really enjoyed playing Vinny Vedecci, the Italian talk show host. He was the first character I ever came up with where I gave him a name and a way of dressing.
alien became character couple great original patience seasons time took
I started 'SNL,' and I became the one who did impressions. I did that, but then I wanted to get an original character on, and that took a long time to get one on that stuck. And then I got Vinny Vedecci on - 'Oh great' - and then it took a couple more seasons to get Greg the Alien on. You have to have some patience.
money sketch
I was in a sketch group in L.A., and we were playing, like, backyards in Glendale and stuff. It was pretty ugly because we didn't have any money.
I was at Second City L.A., going through the conservatory, and I graduated in 2004 and I got 'SNL' in 2005.
family life mostly moved since
My life is different since I moved back to L.A. from New York, mostly because I have a family and I don't go out.
forget move original
When you move to L.A. or New York, it's easy to get a little lost and forget your original goal.
school night long
When I got to Saturday Night Live, it was a lot like going from pre-school to Harvard, and it took a long time to figure stuff out.
bunch
Richard Grieco once asked for a bunch of M&M's
writing wells accord
I always felt better co-writing something - always co-writing. Because if I was the lead of it and it failed, then it failed on my own accord. I would say, "Well, I liked it or I screwed up. I take the hit on this one."
song eagles documentaries
I'm not a fan of the Eagles, but I've watched their documentary numerous times and everyone who's watched it with me has sung along to the songs, much to my dismay.
cereal cooks i-can
I can't cook. I can barely make a bowl of cereal.
writing want actors
I was into writing and directing. I was a bit of a reluctant actor. I would always ask friends to shoot or direct their movies, but then they'd want me to be in them.
sports growing-up oklahoma
Growing up in Oklahoma, there wasn't much to do. Play sports, do a lot of drugs, or read and watch movies, which is what I did.
play differences animated
I would say the biggest difference is that you're just in a studio by yourself when you're making an animated movie. You don't have anybody to play off of.
