I Love Polarizing People.

I Don't Know If I'd Call Myself A Prodigy, But I Was A Big Forensics Competitor In High School, And Then During College I Spent Some Time Working At Speech And Debate Camps As A Coach.

My Idol Growing Up Was Charlie Chaplin. I Was Obsessed With Him. I Mean, While Other Kids Were Watching Jim Carrey And The Likes In The '90s, I Was Watching Charlie Chaplin Films, Because I Was A Bit Of A Geek. I Became Obsessed With This Idea Of Physical Comedy.

Josh [gad] Is Such An Amazing Improviser And Is So Good When The Material Is Flowing From Him That Sometimes, If A Written Scene Isn't Working Quite Right, I'll Tell Him That We've Got It And That He Can Just Play. He'll Blow Us Away With Some Super Weird Stuff And Some Wild Things That We Might Use Bits And Pieces Of In The Edit, And Then I'll Say, "just For Good Measure, Let's Do One More Of The Scripted Version."

I Do Have A Dirty Sense Of Humor.
