When I was young, I learned very early on that I could make my mother laugh. And that was one of the greatest sounds I ever heard.
I was raised with 'Laurel and Hardy' and 'I Love Lucy' and Jerry Lewis, and I just loved it. And I had a friend in high school and we would just laugh all day and put on skits. You know, it's the Andy Kaufman thing or the Marty Short thing where you're performing in your bedroom for yourself.
In college, I was a theater and film major at Kansas University. I always had an affinity for comedy. I could probably quote everything from 'Caddyshack,' 'Stripes,' and all those great comedies from the '80s.
Football was what I was good at, and it was what I loved.
The radio was my big influence. Comedy came from the instinctual feel I had for language.
I was obsessed with football when I was growing up.
I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up, and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things, not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor. I just really, really amused myself and my friends with memorizing entire George Carlin or Steve Martin albums.
I was a huge fan of comedy when I was a child.
I was a comedy fan when I was a little kid.
