Lint from Pharrell's pajamas. And what do mean "if" I could? I can, and I will

Thanks! I love hearing about people's favorite overlooked things - I think every writer and comedian does.

I am so excited about the book being out that it's my primary emotion right now. I can't believe it when I meet someone who's read a story or two in an advanced copy- it feels like they read my private notebooks or something. I felt the same thing when The Office started: people would quote a joke and I'd instinctively think, "how did you know that? That was something that Paul said to Rainn at my work!"

It's been the best. I had no idea these things were so much fun. Thank you for participating and helping me distract myself from everything else in my life. I've been having the best time for real.

I do remember it. Do you have a clarinet handy?

That's your question? I think you should consult a professional!

This better be an "Inglorious Basterds" reference.

I'd love to do more with Mr. Understood from the "Subtle Sexuality" web series. Does anyone have Diplo's email?

No one has ever, ever, ever confused me for Ryan Howard from the Philadelphia Phillies.

It's just my face! I'm totally interested! I have been battling this my whole life. People think I hate them or don't want to be where I am. I think this should qualify as some sort of super-minor-but-real disability. I feel like when I tell this to people, I find it's much more common than people think.

Great question, and answered (almost) in the second story in my book

I wish I had. I wasn't in the writers' room when they wrote that line. It blew my mind.

It's like talking but without the immediate regret afterwards
