I Wanted To See How Funny I

I Put On A Big Show When I Write Something I Think Is Funny.

I Was Bad At Sports And Picked Last Every Day. I Couldn't Quite Figure Out What My Role Was In The Social Order, So I Decided I Was Interested In Comedy. And What Was Then Interesting Was, Nobody Else Was Interested In It At All. I Didn't Find One Friend Who Was Interested In Comedy Until I Moved To California And Met Other Comedians. And Suddenly I Knew Hundreds Of People Who Knew As Much About Sctv As I Did. But It Took Me 20 Years To Find Those People.

Right When I Started Getting Solid Was When I Was Offered A Lot Of Writing Work. And When The Ben Stiller Show Was Picked Up, I Realized There Was No Way For Me To Do Stand-up Three Or Four Nights A Week And Run This Television Show With Ben. So That Was The Moment When I Had To Make A Choice.

If We Really Talked About What's Wrong With You, You'd Need A 7-1/2-hour Movie And Nobody Would Know What Category To Put It In!

There Are People That Entertainment Is Something They Do At The End Of A Long Hard Day At Work, And They Want To Be Entertained And Have It Over Quickly. They're Like, "entertain Me Fast!"
