I'm not the type of guy who's funny in the room. I'm the guy who's funny late at night on a computer, trying to construct jokes.

From Scott Aukerman

Working on 'Comedy Bang Bang,' we're there from 10-7, and that's a pretty light day compared to most other TV shows. Other shows, it's like 10-10.

From Scott Aukerman

I look back on our productivity in the 'Mr. Show' days, and think, 'We probably could have worked harder.'

From Scott Aukerman

At the end of Season Four of 'Mr. Show,' instead of doing another season, everyone just thought they wanted to go and do a movie. Kind of like Monty Python. Monty Python went right into 'And Now For Something Completely Different,' and everyone kind of compared 'Mr. Show' to Monty Python.

Most of the stuff I've written has never even gotten made. It's par for the course. It's a great living, but it also gets very frustrating.

From Scott Aukerman

Doing the podcast, the whole reason to do it is just because I can do whatever I want.

From Scott Aukerman

After the comedy boom of the '80s, there was a certain formula that comedians had to do and could do in order to be successful touring comedians, and those were mainly observational comedians who had a very strict structure of what made an act, and I think it was very performance oriented.

From Scott Aukerman

What I love about comedy is breaking down the barrier between the audience and the performer.

From Scott Aukerman

I have new bodyguards ever since I got a TV show. I didn't know, but it's a lot like becoming president. They tell you every single secret, like who shot JFK. When you have a TV show, they not only tell you who shot JFK, but they assign you bodyguards.

From Scott Aukerman

That's one of the benefits of working with a smaller network like IFC. You're awarded more trust, but trust that I really earned.
