I'd had episodes before, but I swept them under the carpet. This time, I couldn't do that because everyone knew. I got on with the hard work of getting better and haven't had a blip in almost 10 years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
At our best, it's a good experience but we do 22 episodes a year, so there are some clunkers.
At one time, whenever the hell it was, they wanted a character to come in and stir up the pot. They brought me in for 8-10 episodes and said we'll try it for that.
I feel like every first episode of a TV show is bad, you know, and it always improves.
I just finished an episode of a new show called 'Century City.' It's like 'Law & Order' set in the future, and I have a very dramatic role in that. I have to sob and weep and wail. It was very hard. When it was done, I was like, 'OK, time to watch 'SpongeBob!'
I would never do another sitcom. It was so boring I wanted to pull my fingernails off.
A lot of the traditional sitcom stuff I did - I think I could have gone that route when I was younger as a staff writer, and I just didn't want to.
We worked under a lot of pressure... three days to do an episode, sometimes two in a week, 39 episodes a year.
I did an episode of The Profiler. I actually worked on the last episode of Murphy Brown.
I've always had a show that went seven episodes or 13 episodes or whatever. And I've never had a show that's gone past a first season. It really is a lot of work.
I've only done four or five episodes of 'Two and a Half Men,' and its amazing how many people recognize me for that more than anything else in my career.
