I try to stay away from calling people nerds or whatever, because I've got my own fetishes and interests.

I was raised Catholic in the Midwest, so I can't enjoy anything.

I still love a well-crafted joke. Twitter's been great for that.

I think I told my parents I wanted to be a writer, just so they'd kind of think I had some direction in life. It made it easier to pick out classes at college, like, 'Oh, this is writing classes, that's what I'm doing.'

There's sketch, improv, writing, acting, music, and badminton. Those are the seven forms of comedy.

That's what I'm attracted to: how people face struggle - with humor - and how they handle tough situations in their lives and in conversations.

My parents always told me to be myself. I was always funny and silly as a kid. And I would always make them laugh. And they always told me to dream big and follow those dreams.

In my new IFC comedy game show, 'Bunk,' we actually use our intern Patrick as a human timer - giving contestants the time it takes for him to wade through a bag of broken glass for a razor blade, to get gum out of his hair, to pick up every strand from a box of spaghetti I spill on the floor, etc, etc.
