Armando Iannucci is one of my heroes. As I was growing up, he was probably the most influential comic voice that I had.

The disconnect between America and its military is shocking.

I've said yes to everything that Jon Stewart has asked me to do. That's been a pretty good career decision, I think.

Most stand-ups, once they have done it, think of it as their default job. I'm pretty sure Jon Stewart still feels that way now. You are a stand-up first; other things come and go.

Friends' played in this territory of being funny, and then also just grabbing your heart. And not afraid of that. It was a comedic soap opera. Not being afraid to have an audience feel something, laugh and cry, was quite extraordinary and quite wonderful.

Comedy writing is taking the brief thought and going with it.

Fear of comedy is all so much about who you do it with.

A lot of people think that comedy is sort of a cop out to not wrestling seriously, but I actually would argue that comedy is much more difficult than wrestling seriously because you have to be creative in almost everything that you do if you want the comedy to make sense within the realms of pro wrestling.
