I got my first show at Blum & Poe because Paul McCarthy postponed his show, and they came to my studio and asked me if I could put together a show in two weeks.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For a long time, my shows were about people walking out or about getting my gigs canceled or having the presenter not wanting to pay me.
I used to sneak up to the 8th floor and watch Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo rehearsing 'Saturday Night Live' and could only wonder if I would ever have the chance to be funny. It took me five years to go up the two stories, but it is such a sense of fulfillment to be able to show what I can do on national television.
I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be in show business!
Our cast and crew strive for this show after show hard as they can. It shows in the finished product.
I didn't have to wait six years to get my show on the air, worry that someone else had a similar idea, or wait around for notes that took my voice out of the show.
Most of my friends who got shows right away are still just doing shows, and they have no need to create.
I'm very into the first production of the show.
I created 'Dinner: Impossible' with a guy named Bryan O'Reilly and I shot the pilot as a 30 minute show and we sold it.
Improv kind of goes hand in hand with what I do. I was on 'Reno 911!' for six years, and that was a completely improvised show.
I've always come into a show when the show was already up and running.
