Comedy : (373)

" I was always interested in comedy and pop culture. " - Randy Rainbow

" I’ve written a couple of scripts. Actually, a pilot. I’m not sure I’m allowed to say, but it’s a comedy about three young men in New York City, one of whom may or may not be a romantic like me. " - Andre Holland

" Normally, I name my characters after famous comedians. " - Paula Danziger

" I’ve always liked and appreciated storytellers like Garry Shandling and Bill Cosby – more long-form comedy. So starting in San Francisco, watching all these great comics – Patton Oswalt, Dave Chappelle – you get to see them a bunch, and you go, ‘Wow, this is where I need to be.’ " - Al Madrigal

" I think it’s actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian. " - Octavia Spencer

" And as far as actors go, Peter Sellers is my all-time favorite. " - Demetri Martin

" You know how Bed Bath & Beyond sells those white noise machines that help you sleep? And they usually make ocean noises? I want one that’s just David Gergen gently muttering about the economy. " - Jessi Klein

" Most stand-ups, once they have done it, think of it as their default job. I’m pretty sure Jon Stewart still feels that way now. You are a stand-up first; other things come and go. " - John Oliver

" I think the great sketch shows, like ‘Python’ and ‘Mr. Show,’ they didn’t stick around for very long. There’s something kind of cool about that. " - Tim Heidecker

" I have some stand-up bits that are about my family and my abuelita, but most of my stand-up isn’t Latino-based. " - Melissa Villasenor
