I think that it's hard for vain people to be funny. I think you can look any way you want as long as you have a good sense of humor about yourself.
I came from the Groundlings Theatre in L.A., and there, you're guaranteed to at least try something out in front of an audience. At 'SNL,' only the best stuff gets picked, and it's taught me a very defined language of comedy. You learn the structure of a joke, which is not something I was very good at beforehand.
I still have my old Nintendo 64 that works. And I hook it up, and I still play the original Goldeneye. Im that geek. I have an NBA Jam arcade machine in my office at SNL.
Brad Pitt has always been one that I'm very proud of, just because I don't know anybody else who does one.
Comic books are a big passion of mine.
Eddie Murphy was my guy for a long time. My first exposure to “SNL” was his “Best Of” VHS, and I would watch it over and over again. He was one of the few people on the show to play with the live elements, and engage with the audience.
