I loved when my folks would watch 'The Dean Martin Show.'

I loved George Carlin and Dean Martin. I was one of those kids who had every comedy album.

I directed a half hour comedy pilot, 'Upgrade,' and had one of the best times ever! I had such a great time directing; I would love to get to direct another project.

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.

When I got to college, as I was walking across campus one day, I ripped off a little flyer for this sketch-comedy group. It ended up being one of the greatest things I've ever done.

I really loved what I was doing being creative and being funny as a stand-up comedian.

My years on 'SNL' had reconfirmed that what I do best is play for a sort of edgy comedy.

I was so keen to become a comedian that actually doing the comedy itself almost came second.

The stuff I did in 'Rescue Me' was great. It gave me the opportunity to play comedy, and Denis Leary was the first one to take a chance with me. And from that experience, we had a comedy pilot that we did that I was going to play the lead in. And then 'Person of Interest' came along. They're all new experiences.

I did sketch comedy for years. I've always enjoyed it.
