My mom's brother was gay, and he actually passed away from AIDS when I was 13. He was quite a character, but he also worked at the electrical plant, so he was this complicated guy with a big laugh who would wear a trucker hat and do impressions. He was gay, but to me, Uncle Alan was just the funniest person in the world.
I think the key to working with my husband is that collaboration in comedy is best.
I actually do enjoy the Kardashians' show, and I know that other people do enjoy it, but at the same time, they want to make fun of it. Like, I know that girls are watching that show - I'm just the only one courageous enough to say it. Other people are courageous in acts of war, but I'm courageous in my love for the Kardashians.
Kenya Moore is everything to me. She's everything.
Jake Johnson is one of my oldest friends.
Pageants are already ridiculous and sad, I think.
My parents are both super funny, and I always knew I wanted to be on 'SNL.' My mom and I would watch it a lot.
My mom always worked, and I certainly don't want to look back and think, 'Well, I don't have kids, but I'm glad I did that sitcom.'
The alternative comedy scene is actually pretty small, I guess.
I think there's almost nothing that I won't, sadly, do for a laugh. It's a problem, actually.
I went on the road with Hillary Rodham Clinton when she was out campaigning.
I am riveted by Phaedra Parks and her performance of herself. She kills me.
When I was 13, I was in my tent at Girl Scout camp, trying to change out of my bathing suit and talking at the same time. I fell out of the tent in front of everyone with my bathing suit around my ankles. I was humiliated - but no amount of humiliation has ever seemed to stop me.
I know this is a weird niche, but a lot of my female friends have these strange stories where there their dads have seen the small successes of their daughters and have decided that they are creative as well.
