The idea of trying to write sketches the same way we did on Saturday Night Live every day would be damn near impossible.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My dad would write these sketches for me while I was at 'SNL.'
There are lots of actors, and you need a way to stand out. Writing comedy sketches was a way of doing that.
When you're writing a sketch, it has to be surrounded by a situation. It can't just be out of the air.
Sketching is like dancing. It's process as much as product. You can turn your head off and just sort of dissolve into the now. Doing a giant, super thought-out painting is the opposite of that.
It's kind of hard coming from 'Saturday Night Live,' which is a sketch-driven show, to a movie.
I was always doodling house sketches.
If you're going to be part of a nationally televised show that airs live and do sketches that haven't even been brainstormed a week earlier, you really can't be afraid to fail.
As a storyboard artist, you have to be able to draw anything.
Without realizing it, I think I've wanted to do a sketch show since I was, like, 11 years old. Like everybody else in comedy, I grew up watching 'Saturday Night Live,' and I was doing characters with my friends.
You can't do sketches enough. Sketch everything and keep your curiosity fresh.
