He was just doing that sort of gaped mouth look of shock he did half the time on his TV show, but he was doing it at you.Īnd I had no idea he was watching, so when I got off stage, I was like, 'Wow, I made everybody laugh. I thought I'd crossed some threshold where I was like being funny instead of saying funny things, I was like, 'Wow, I'm really getting I'm really making everybody laugh.' But what everybody was laughing at was Seinfeld looking at me, horrified at what I was doing.

And I don't know how to play the piano, but I just said, 'All right.' And my friend who was hosting the show bumped into Jerry Seinfeld during my set and said, 'Would you like to come and do a set on my show?' And he said, 'Yeah, absolutely.' So he walked in and during my set, I just started saying the most horrific, dirty jokes I could think of while playing the piano and all my friends were laughing and everybody was laughing and I thought they were laughing at me. But the challenge was for me to go on stage and do my set, do comedy while playing the piano. I was doing a show at the Hollywood Improv and Jerry Seinfeld was playing in the main room I didn't know this. And I understand you actually ran into Seinfeld once?

And probably the preeminent example of that is Jerry Seinfeld. So one of the things i was thinking about is you are now in a line of comedians who are doing a show which is, in your case, more loosely than not based on your own life. I admire him because he probably saw this and was like 'I like this, but I want to see the good version.' I'm both horrified for you and the other comics, but I kind of admire him. Out of curiosity, I went by to see what he was watching and he was watching an Amy Schumer comedy special. And then a few minutes later, I look at him and he's watching something on his laptop. I was at an open mic and there was this older man who was watching. You know what's so funny, I remember my first year of standup comedy. I know what would be great, strangers hating me!' I mean, you say to yourself, 'Man, you know, things aren't going well. Yeah, I was meandering a lot in life and it wasn't until I was 29 that I started comedy I was 29 and everybody around me was either 19, 20, 21, so I felt like such an old man. Since you have produced this show, which is now streaming on Hulu and which you star, have you gone back to the warehouse and checked in with the guys to see if they've caught it yet?Ī few of them, oddly enough, have messaged me and told me 'Why the F didn't you tell us you were a comedian?'Īnd I also understand that you actually, unlike a lot of comics quite early in their teens, you got into it fairly late, right? So basically we reached out to him and a week later they were like, 'Can you schedule to talk to him?' And I was like, 'Well, I still have a job.' So I just talked to him during my lunch break, which was pretty surreal to be, like, wearing a back brace. And the story is that you were on your lunch break when you got a phone call saying Fred Armisen, the well-known comedian and writer, was going to produce your show? You started doing clubs and had been doing comedy and sort of rising in the world, and you pitched this show.
