Actually, I didn't like Dartmouth very much, but the whole theater scene I really liked.
All I remember is the last time I played a videogame, it was Space Invaders.
But I majored in Drama, modified with Psychology.
Everybody always asks about Jimmy Fallon. I'm sorry to say that he's very nice and there's not much bad to say about him. I don't know if he sucks at videogames or not. I don't think he plays them, but he could have this whole secret life I don't know about.
I did some acting in high school, I knew I really liked it.
I had always wanted to be on SNL, it's not always great, but it's this leftover childhood dream.
I remember watching Gilda Radner when I was a kid and everyone thought she was so funny and no one ever said that she was a funny woman, she was just funny.
I started doing improv my sophomore year.
I'm definitely not up-to-date on the high-tech videogame world.
If you have an impulse, not if you're going to ruin someone elses' scene, if you have an impulse of a funny little add-on or taking something in a weird direction, try it.
So, then, after college I did a children's theater tour for six months, but then I came out here. Just to try to do the whole Second City thing.
The Yale group was doing the Harold. So by our senior year we were trying to do the Harold. Again, we had no idea what we were doing. We had one guy in the group who was pretty experimental; he would kind of push us to do weird things. It was really fun, a great experience.
When I started with the improv team that's when I felt like I was part of something that I wanted to be a part of.
When I was little, we used to have Atari.
Yeah, and I remember that game Pitfall. That was my favorite. I heard there's a new one, too - so maybe I'll have to get back into it.
I don't use a pen. I write with a goose quill dipped in venom.
In my case, self-absorption is completely justified. I have never discovered any other subject quite so worthy of my attention.
Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part.
