When I Got To Los Angeles, I

I Worked Mostly In Television Drama For My First Few Years. I Just Kept Guesting On Nypd Blues And Csi-like Stuff, So When I Started Getting Work In Comedy, A Lot Of People In The Business Would Say, 'oh - I Didn't Know You Did Comedy.'

It Was On A Van Ride Home From The Movie Set That Everything Came Together. I Realized I Had To Get Off Twitter. It Just Struck Me That I Couldn't Stop Everyone Else From Doing It, But I Could Certainly Stop Myself.

My Wife, The Actress Megan Mullally, Was An English Major At Northwestern University And Loves Fiction. Like So Many Things In My Life, She Curates Things For Me. For Example, I Have The Daunting Prospect Of Donna Tartt's "the Goldfinch" Waiting For Me When I Get Through My Current Reading Pile.

People Keep Referring To Me As A Standup, And That Just Doesn't Sit Well With Me Because A Lot Of My Friends Are Standups And They're Brilliant At Writing Jokes, And I'm Not.

For Years I Drove A Big Ford F250 Pickup. That Was My Ride Because Two-thirds Of My Work Was Wood Work, And I'm Always Driving Up To Northern California, Where I Harvest Salvaged Trees.
