On Letterman and Leno, it always bothers me when they go outside the studio and it's daytime.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't typically work that late into the night in a studio, I'm more productive during the day.
Wherever I am in the world, I never get Sunday night blues. I suppose it's because I've never worked at any one thing long enough to start hating it.
I've been on Letterman a couple of times. I've been on Leno more than a couple times, and now Letterman hates me because I've been on Leno more than him. They're very jealous of one another, as you know.
I wouldn't totally rule out doing Letterman or the Tonight Show if I had a set that I just happened to write that I thought was funny but was still appropriate for network censors. But I'm not going to go out of my way.
And if I had a preference, it would be to be able to not be in the studio until 4 in the morning.
I'm a fan of daytime drama; I totally get it. When we are doing scenes that are romantic or will get the audience riled up, I feel like I'm a fan in the room going, 'People are going to be so mad right now!'
The most frustrating thing to me is when I tell people I work on 'Friday Night Lights,' they'll say, 'Oh, I hear that's a really good show.' They never watched it.
Has anybody ever seen a dramatic critic in the daytime? Of course not. They come out after dark, up to no good.
Hey, you know what, I've gotta go on that 'Letterman' show. That show is so lame.
I'm a big believer of daylight in the studio.
