You don't really know when stand-up material is TV ready; it's just at what point you're willing to let it go and not work on it anymore. I'm not sure there is a point at which you think: 'And that is finished.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Stand-up is different from television. In stand-up, you've got to be in control.
The whole thing about doing TV is that you never know what's going to happen. You just have to go with it and go with the flow.
The television business is actually going through a tremendous transition, but I think at the end of the day, television is still paramount.
Our cast and crew strive for this show after show hard as they can. It shows in the finished product.
But TV has changed completely. It's not until you come into people's homes that everyone says, 'You're a success now.'
TV can be a long commitment.
Well, television is grueling. The hours are grueling, it's hard work, and there's a lot of pressure to get it done without a lot of rehearsal time.
A finished product is one that has already seen its better days.
The great thing about film is you start and finish. It's a journey that lasts so long, TV lasts a long time.
There are still many things to work on - the start, the transition, the finish. I am not just going to sit around and wait.
