People come to my shows on purpose as opposed to coming to a 'comedy show.' Which was always my goal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being a stand-up comic, this isn't a stepping-stone for me; it's what I do, and this is what I'm always going to do. And even if I do a TV show, the only reasons to do a TV show is to get more people to know me to come out to my stand-up shows.
My goal in any show is to make people laugh. That's the No. 1 thing. Everything else pales in comparison to that.
I just wanted to be in show business. I didn't care if I was going to be an actor or a magician or what. Comedy was a point of the least resistance, really. And on the simplest level, I loved comedy.
I wanted to do a show based on what my life would be like if I had never become a comedian.
I think my goal was just to do comedy, honestly. It still is. Whatever form that took or takes, it doesn't matter.
People see me on the 'Daily Show' or 'About a Boy'. But the reality is that I only got into this business to do standup comedy.
I do comedy shows. I make fun of myself, first of all.
I always knew I wanted to do comedy. I like making people laugh.
I think I enlist comedy to a serious purpose.
I always tell people if you want to do something, go to a great comedy show. And that's what I try to do: give people a really good comedy show.
