Stand-up is successful if they laugh. It's unsuccessful if they don't laugh.
From Kumail Nanjiani
If you do a sketch, that's a very short narrative. Stand-up, it's bit-to-bit, minute-long narratives.
When I started working on 'Michael And Michael,' it was my life for three to four months, and then suddenly it's gone.
You really need to have that discipline. It's not even discipline. I just put down these rules. It's not like a vague, 'Motivate yourself!' and do something. It's specific hours set aside every day for certain things.
Wikipedia is kind of weird. I feel it's lame to put up my own page, but I desperately want someone else to do it.
You can get stuck in the trap of reading your YouTube comments all the time. Sometimes I regret it. Not everyone is going to love you. And for some reason, stand-up has this thing where everyone thinks they can do it. So everyone thinks they're an expert.
The worst job I ever had was an office job that I had for six years, and that's nothing against the people who I was surrounded by, because they were wonderful people.
I'm from a family of doctors, and I think they really wanted me to be a doctor. I even sort of assumed I would be a doctor.
Honestly, I would love to be friends with Fox Mulder on 'The X-Files.' That's almost a little too obvious, but that would be my answer. I'd love to hang out with him.
I never really got into game shows. The easiest one is 'Wheel Of Fortune' because you just have to know words, and for the most part everyone knows words.
