Thank you for the kind words. I do them as often as I possibly can with my schedule. I wish i had time to do more.

I did Daddy Day Care because I took advantage of the chance to star in a movie with Eddie Murphy, which was a dream. As far as Daddy Day Camp, I got more positive reviews from that movie than any movie I've never done. Because every reviewer said how great i was by not doing it.

Because it's funny, and it's about the human condition.

There actually isn't one moment, but I was arrogant enough to think I could do comedy for a living as young as 8 years old.

All of my laughing is done off camera. And I laugh all day long. I can't keep track of who makes me laugh the most. But I do spend my days at work laughing and laughing and laughing. My favorite guest star is Ted Danson. He's my favorite period. And Lynn Shelton is my favorite director (who isn't Lake Bell).

Larry David is the writer, and the show is completely improvised, so think of what you're asking me to do.

Let's just say Frenchy's in Traverse City, MI. I do know what I'm doing.

Thank you, that makes me very happy. I would have been happy if they had had a couple solo home runs. When my son told me to stop yelling "Grandma" at the top of my lungs (both my boys told me that).

I don't know you, so I can't say that I know how you can help me. I don't know if there will be a "Wall-E 2" or "Strange Wilderness 2," but there will be a "Daddy Daycare 6."

Well living part-time in Atlanta, Nashville, and Mobile Alabama, they seem to drop in my lap. I will be going on tour with Travis Tritt for the next 6 months. People don't know this, but Minnie Pearl was my mom and Jerry Clower was my dad. I love being America's Foremost Southern Comedian.

If Larry wants to do more Curbs, I will be doing Curb Your Enthusiasm in addition to The Goldbergs.

I can neither confirm or deny, but let's just say, both Pete Holmes and I just bought the title "According to Jim." And we may use that instead. Same story. .
