My first big gig was as a correspondent on Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show.' My job was to parody TV reporters and political pundits. As a result, I was often invited onto cable news shows as comic relief.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had a great time on News Radio, I got to make tons of money in relative obscurity and learn a lot about the TV biz and work on my standup act constantly. It was a dream gig.
I became a specialist at comedic one-liners.
My very first professional job was a cartoon, doing voices for the Mr. T cartoon in high school.
My first job in television was on 'My So-Called Life.'
Although I had a good job as an advertising manager for a shoe company in Boston, I really liked to fool around with comedy.
I started on television. I had five years of network television before I ever got up on a stage. The first thing I ever did was in 1967. This guy Bill Keene had a little talk show at noon, and Gary Owens took over for a week. He knew about this dummy bit I used to do, this ventriloquist thing, and I was on 'Keene at Noon.'
My job was to find interesting material that would give us a quality television show.
I started out as a stand-up comedian. And that's what I'm most comfortable doing.
My very first job was working on a TV show that was a prestigious TV show and well done - was called 'Family.'
I worked in Trenton, and then I got sidetracked into comedy and then onto 'SNL.' And then into being a live performer - what I do now; virtually that's what I am: I'm a live entertainer.
