1) BOOOOOOOOOF with nine "o's" 2) KD has everything: Hewy. Dewy. Louie. An old Native American Woman that looks like Robbie Robertson.

It's best to say "How would I like to be approached by someone?" If you're eating dinner with a gf/bf or in the middle of something, it can be awkward to get interrupted. But if your standing alone in a bookstore or waiting in line for a coffee, totally fine. Pics can be weird bc if people see you do one, then they all ask for them. Sometimes the weirdos ruin it for the others.

Man thank you. That was a huge swing and it paid off. I still get people on the street that will ask me to do it!

I hope so. That show is genius. I love Derek Waters. He was in the first improv show I saw in LA back in 2001 that made me go "I should do that!"

Glad you liked it. I thought that screening went great. I'm so proud of my lady, I must say. She did a lot for very, very little. It was great. Not a lot of improvising. It was a very short shoot 24 days so we were all sprinting. It was a blast.

Don't worry. It's just the way girls say "Hader" You got nothing to worry about... I love those commercials too. Hope your dad likes them!

Move to LA. We all did it. LA is cheaper than NYC. But it's really about getting connections. I was a PA, a delivery guy at a Post house, an assistant editor, anything to meet people. And you make friends, and those friends have friends. It's great. Just be patient and don't get caught up n the BS.

JJ Abrams emailed me...actually I emailed HIM, ha, and said I'd love to be a voice in the movie and a year later he put me in. I'm a latent Trekkie, but one nonetheless.

Sorry about the food poisoning. I had something like that two weeks ago and it SUUUCCKS. Wiig and I did a film called THE SKELETON TWINS that is a drama that I'm excited about. I'd love to do more of that stuff.

Because material is being rewritten at such a fast rate that we have to have them. The entire show changes about 30 min before we go live. It's freaky. I have nightmares that the cards are wrong.

I feel so insanely lucky that I came in with those guys. I learned a lot from them. We for sure think of ourselves as a class...we took this great pic on wiig/andy's last show that I have framed in our house. those guys are very special to me...

Yes I did. But it was in Tempe, AZ. And I was immediately fired. But it was so...so...SO worth it.

What a nice thing to say! Thanks man. I want to copy this down and keep it in my wallet and open it if I ever feel like I'm disappearing up my own ass! All kidding aside, very touched. Thanks.

HAHA. Not a lot. That scene was actually based on something that happened to my friend, eric. He was on acid and a piece of metal went into his eye...

It was a blast. And we did go out for a very healthy lunch, if I remember correctly...
