My parents were supportive. I didn’t have good grades, but they could tell I wasn’t lazy.

I’m very close to my sisters.

My wife and I got to go onstage at a Flaming Lips concert at Webster Hall once. We dressed up like Scientology aliens and danced around. We had a shootout onstage with Santa Claus.

I got invited to the Playboy Mansion with the Lonely Island guys after their first season on ‘SNL,’ and I sat in the corner drinking coffee and talking to Akiva Schaffer about what aspect ratio...

My dad was a big Frank Zappa fan, so I remember listening to a lot of Frank Zappa. Girls do not like Frank Zappa.

My wife is the sweetest, most even-keeled person ever. A mood swing to her is like, ‘Oh, I’m uncomfortable.’

I moved out to L.A. to be a filmmaker or director. I didn’t even think about doing comedy or even acting. I wanted to be like Paul Thomas Anderson or Wes Anderson, but I wasn’t...

As far as post-‘SNL’ career, whatever kind of comes my way that looks interesting, I’ll do it, you know?

Going to any loud place is terrible for me. I’m bad at loud restaurants.

I remember being unbelievable bummed when ‘Freaks and Geeks’ was canceled.

There’s a movie called ‘Pod People’ that has a weird little anteater alien. That was a good alien.

It doesn’t occur to me that I don’t drive a cool car until I hang out with Jon Hamm, who picks me up in what looks like a Transformer, and I think, ‘Oh, that’s what...

Seth Meyers and I wrote a ‘Spider-Man’ comic.

I’ve always admired Jeff Bridges. I really like how one can never get a handle on what he’s doing.

I was always self-conscious about the fact that I didn’t have as much comedy experience as other people at ‘SNL,’ and I kept thinking they were going to realize they’d made a mistake by hiring...

I started ‘SNL,’ and I became the one who did impressions. I did that, but then I wanted to get an original character on, and that took a long time to get one on that...

When you move to L.A. or New York, it’s easy to get a little lost and forget your original goal.

One of the reasons I started working at ‘South Park,’ actually, was that I wanted to learn how to structure things and how to tell a story.

I think that’s the thing I learned at ‘Saturday Night Live’ – any time I would try and strategize, I would always, always fall on my face. Things worked out when I tried to make...

Everything is so tech now; everyone is so connected that way.

Good directors give short and specific instructions to their actors.

I set the time on my iPhone to be 30 minutes late, so I’m only an hour and a half late to appointments now.

To be honest, I don’t know how comedy works.

It is funny that people always assume you have a bigger part in a movie than you actually do. I remember a lot of people thought ‘Adventureland’ starred me and Kristen Wiig. But we were...

‘Superbad’ was such a personal movie.

I’ve been a big fan of David Wain’s and was honored to get to be in one of his projects.

I’m crazy lucky. I was trying to be a filmmaker. I was doing Second City classes as a way to be creative. I was a PA for a long time. I was working as an...

I worked at a movie theater in Tempe, Arizona, when I went to community college there. And I got fired because a sorority had rented out a theater to watch ‘Titanic,’ and they were being...

At the beginning of each week at ‘Saturday Night Live,’ we have a full cast meeting where Lorne Michaels introduces the upcoming host.

Paul Rudd is a huge ‘Hot Rod’ fan.

I took Second City out of desperation, and that’s what ended up working out. It shows that you should be doing a lot of different stuff, taking whatever opportunities are there, to see what works.

Fred Armisen does a pretty good me.

I – at the table reads, I break constantly. If something is up there that I’m not expecting, I tend to – I can’t help myself; I’ll start laughing.
