I wanted to do a show based on what my life would be like if I had never become a comedian.
Even when people are rich and successful on TV shows, there's always some trouble - you have to poke holes in them, throw them out of a job, put a pie in the face.
What also helps our show is that we never take ourselves seriously.
We'll never see national shows with 45 shares again.
After all, game shows are not like working in a coal mine.
I don't do one show and wish I was doing something else.
I didn't see it coming, ... But Comedy Central wanted to do it and will air all 13 shows that we did. That's why I'm going out on this tour. If the show wasn't picked up, I would probably be flying off to a sporting event or something in October. I wanted to take a couple of years off, but that will have to wait because of the show and the tour.
If I wasn't a comic or TV star, I really wanted to be a photojournalist. That was my other dream job.
You know that look women get when they want sex? Me neither.
I do get the comics online I guess but it's such a pain. I'd rather just get them in the paper and read them.
I could still eat a cheeseburger if I wanted to. I just can't have them every day.
That's the great thing about having your friends around you, ... I've known these guys forever. I really enjoy their company just as people. You couldn't ask for a better work environment.
If frogs could fly - well, we'd still be in this mess, but wouldn't it be neat?
The hardest diet I was ever on was the one when I was fat. You can only wear fat clothes, you don't feel good, your sex life gets damaged, you don't have energy for anything. It's horrible.
