al comedians fans huge realized
Most young comedians would be lying to say that they weren't huge Weird Al fans when they were kids. Weird Al is probably the first person I ever realized had a career that was just making jokes.
access clubs public work
It used to be that in comedy you had to play the clubs and work your way up, but now, before you do the clubs, you can put something up on the Internet. It's public access times a million.
basically build examples good guess music parts sketch songs three twists version
A sketch should be about two to three minutes, which is basically what most songs are. They're usually done by groups. Good examples of each build and have different parts and twists in them. I guess sketch would be the comedy version of music.
born full unless
Unless you're born here, I don't know if you can ever become a full New Yorker.
traumatic yorker
The more traumatic events you endure with the city, the more of a New Yorker you become.
change fascinated minute seeing sketch
I was fascinated with the writing process and seeing the evolution of a sketch and how it would change up to the minute before it went on the air.
decided funny tour town traveled trying
I was very young, and I kind of decided I wanted to do comedy. My parents were musicians, so we traveled on a tour bus. You're in a different town every night; as a kid, you're trying to make friends fast. You try to be funny.
came david half home hour huge letterman night record watch
I was a huge David Letterman fan, even going back to when he was on NBC. My parents would only let me watch a half hour of television a day, so I would record Letterman the night before and then watch it when I came home from school. That's what made me want to do a T.V. show.
kept meant somebody
If you got more than one letter from somebody who said they hated you, it meant they kept watching.
offend people playing saying
With anything you put out there, you're going to offend somebody, but most people get that it's a joke, that I'm playing a character, and that I'm actually making fun of what I'm saying by saying it.
access class good lived public spent teachers time tried
Most of my teachers didn't like me. I didn't get good grades because I pretty much lived at the public access studio. I tried to be the class clown, so I spent a lot of time in detention.
