I got into stand-up to get on a sitcom.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never knew if I would get my own show, but I knew I loved stand-up.
I loved doing sitcoms.
I had developed a sitcom with UPN, but it wasn't picked up.
I was very lucky when I started doing comedy because I hadn't seen much stand-up. I just got up on stage and did it without thinking.
When I first started out, I kinda just wanted to do comedy stuff, and thankfully, I had a fair amount of success. I've been able to be on, I think, almost virtually every American sitcom.
I built my entire career off of teen comedies. I was in 'Bring It On'.
I had done the sitcom thing to lesser and lesser degrees of success.
I decided sitcoms weren't for me.
But long story short, I didn't start doing stand-up because I wanted to have a TV show or be an actor or even wanted to write sketch comedy. I got into stand-up because I love stand-up.
You know, stand-up comedy is where I pretty much started out.
