I like the idea of being out there regularly with an audience and with a funny gang of people. That's what I grew up with - doing television, doing shows every week.

I've always done guest-starring stuff.

I had opportunities to stay on shows for long periods of time, and maybe financially that would have been good, but I feel good about trying to keep doing things that are a little bit different than what I've done.

It's fun for me to go on other folks' talk shows. When you've endured the ups and downs and tensions and pitfalls of hosting, being a guest is a piece of angel food.

I've basically guest-starred on every show that you can imagine. I am pretty used to being the new kid in school.

One of the great things about doing series television is the guest actors that you can have come on and play around with.

Guest roles are how you get initiated into the industry. It's fun. Over the course of a few years you realise you've done many shows. You get a chance to prove yourself, and that's how you get jobs because of people who have worked with you in the past and trust you.

Although I'm largely doing other things in life, it's very nice occasionally to put my toe back in the waters of show business.
