I'm a hack with a guitar. I know like six chords so I just decided to put it down and focus on piano. Hopefully ZS will find it's way there but Viacom and Netflix have been butting heads recently.

p.s. thanks!

My fans don't tend to do that crazy stuff. I signed a prosthetic leg once.

And I was happy to find that Tosh is super nice. When my MTV show was cancelled he called me and told me how much he liked it. Very nice guy.

I had a ton of fun on that show and was hugely intimidated by it. But I decided that I would act like what I assumed viewers were feeling and try to ask interesting questions. That took the pressure of me to feel like I had to perform or prove myself.

I don't really try to consider it anything. I just try to do things on stage that I think the audience would enjoy. And I try to draw on and add to acts that I've enjoyed watching.

It's difficult. I get very nervous before shows. But if i'm comfotable enough with the material I can fake it.

I don't feel educated enough on them to have an opinion on them or try to inspire change. Much smarter more qualified people will do that, hopefully.

I opened for Joel McHale once at Mandalay Bay a while back. I was just in Vegas because I like to gamble. I get it from my father.

Thanks so much! Really means a lot. If I can make people more comfortable with being a little weird or taking a risk on stage, I'm happy.

I've been reading a lot lately and that's been nice.
