The TV that I knew growing up, and I think the TV that a lot of people knew, it's just not completely there anymore.

I watched 'Saturday Night Live' a ton when I was a kid.

I'd already been using DoorDash a lot for a pretty long time. So when they reached out to me to do a spot for DashPass I didn't have to think about it much. I already believed in them as a company, sometimes more than once a day if you know what I mean.

Not everything needs to be super complicated. Some movies and entertainment just need to be a break from your regular life.

I think it's important to build something that's outside myself.

I never really thought I'd be writing a book.

Its funny, my first TV credit was CMT, Country Music Television.

Competitive standpoint, if you're on the fence of being clean or dirty and you think you think you could be clean, I would be clean.

If I didn't go into comedy... maybe I would've been a funny meter reader.

Comedy is in your pocket. Pull out your phone and you have access to some amazing comedians.

My family comes first.

I just want to be funny. That ought to be enough.

You should never vote for something I tell you to do. I'm not smart enough.

Moving to Chicago was like a perfect warmup to moving to a big city.

I had someone ask me, they thought I was doing a kids' book for some reason. I think my book reads like a kids' book.

If I get off-guard with something, like something that isn't going the way someone wants it to go... those hit me pretty hard and those can make me laugh.

We're all the same. We all have relatives, families, lives.

As a comic, just be what you are.

There's a comedian, Paul Reiser, very funny. I remember reading his book when I first started comedy and I remember laughing like I was watching his standup on TV and I thought that was crazy to be laughing that hard by just reading something.

I like when you say something that just hits someone. Even though everybody could be laughing, for some reason that person maybe had that happen to them that day, it resonated with them, so hearing that is always very gratifying.
