My dad would write these sketches for me while I was at 'SNL.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The idea of trying to write sketches the same way we did on Saturday Night Live every day would be damn near impossible.
I wrote comedy sketches in college.
Things I used to get in trouble for writing at 'SNL,' suddenly other people like it.
My dad knows how to tell a story. He'd make me laugh by doing all the different voices.
Seeing the energy of 'SNL' made me want to be a part of it. If that was a job, I thought, that was the job I wanted. That was my plan. Comedy.
I still have a desire to do some sketch comedy. My dream is to be on 'SNL,' to host 'SNL.'
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.
When I used to watch comedians with my dad, he laid it all out for me. He wanted to be a comedian himself, and he was so funny. We'd watch stand-up on TV, and he'd tell me the subtext of what they were saying.
When I left college, I was out of work for three years. I had this dream of being on 'SNL,' and that was all I could imagine.
I was always doodling house sketches.
