I just did 101 shows in 86 different cities in America and Europe and Canada, and I'm not lying or exaggerating when I say, at the vast majority of shows, they loved it. There were encores, there were standing ovations.
I stand by everything I said. I absolutely can defend my material, and I take issue with people who say, "It's just shock value. It's not even funny." I disagree. There's different ways to be funny and to be a comedian.
I'd like to think that I'm not just making the point that I'm an atheist over and over, but that I explore different facets of religion. There's no way of bringing up religion without sounding like an asshole.
It's just an easy catchall to describe a style because there are a lot of alternative comics who are completely different from each other.
Sketches have characters, exits, entrances and are vastly different.
We mostly get together and have fun. It's a great place to play music with a small group of nice people.
The second piece of news is something that I would imagine most people have heard about by now. Arrested Development got picked up for a third season.
Originally they wanted me to be Buster but I really like the Tobias part.
At that point, we worked to contain the fire from the outside.
We knew Eric could be an excellent player and he is proving that this year, ... He really has added to the excellent play from the rest of the team this season.
There are a lot of reasons for that. For one, we have good light here.
It's not an issue per say, but I would urge people to help create an atmosphere where they don't see this complete ideological divide.
[If Donald Trump does get elected, I will be] probably Secretary Of Reeducation. Or I don't know. I'll probably end up working in the cafeteria.
There were a handful of shows that were just painful. Not many, but things where I just said going into it, "Why am I here? What am I doing?"
