And I've always loved commercials. I like working out how to organically weave a brand's message into the writing process. It's like an improv show, where comics ask the audience to throw out a word and a skit is built around it.

I had kicked around the idea for Good Eats when I was directing commercials.

I love commercials.

I did a couple of American Express commercials.

I did a lot of commercials early on, and I remember the first commercial I ever got was for a product called Funyuns. I had to eat these chips for, like, 12 hours straight.

I have done so many stupid commercials and terrible other little projects that never went anywhere and just ended up being terrible.

The funny thing about commercials to me is that many of them now don't even mention the product until the very end. You don't really know what the commercial is all about. They're kind of like little movies, like shorts, and that's why I think they're so entertaining.

I have done a Hamburger Helper commercial, a Hardees commercial, a McDonalds commercial. American Express commercial.

When I was in college in Chicago, I was doing a lot of commercials - that was my bread and butter.
