blew comedian edgy funny hour joan legendary remember rivers standup stuff time watch
When I was in New York, I got to see Joan Rivers do an hour of material, and it blew my mind. I don't remember how old she was at the time, but she just had this edgy hour that had so much funny stuff in it, and she was so fearless. If you only watch her on the red carpet, you don't get a sense of what a legendary standup comedian she is.
amy ball carol current earliest funny tina
So many people: Lucille Ball is the earliest incarnation of a woman I thought was funny, Joan Rivers, Roseanne, Carol Burnett, Gilda Radnor, down to current times, where you have Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, and Kristen Wiig.
answers ask best decisive hard people
When I was little, people would ask what my favorite color was, and I never knew. I find it's really hard to make decisive 'best' answers on what the 'best' of something is.
best challenged debates felt funny hilarious inspiring
Working on 'Parks' was like heaven because everyone there was just intimidatingly intelligent and funny, and we would have these hilarious debates about really tangential things. It was inspiring because I felt really challenged to be my best.
hate including love-hate
I would say that I have a love-hate relationship with almost everything in my life, including stand-up.
italian noses culture
Im Jewish and Italian, and I lucked out and got the nose of both cultures.
guests world comedy
I feel like women are frequently seen as guests in the comedy world....
ex-boyfriend tweet proof
On tour, its either call ex-boyfriends or tweet a lot. Youre just looking for any proof that youre not completely alone.
spiritual attitude real
I feel like women are frequently seen as guests in the comedy world - you know, a kid sister of the “real comedians”. I like the idea of positioning myself as legendary rather than trying to fit in. Now do I see myself like that every day? No, but I think it's a funny attitude and maybe on some weird, spiritual level, maybe it's a good attitude.
mom song encouragement
I only do private room karaoke where its just me and one of my closest girlfriends. My mom always said I could really belt songs out, and the Dixie Chicks feed that encouragement.
mom years parent
My parents divorced when I was one year old so I don't really remember any of the details, but luckily my mom does so she's been really helpful.
jobs people comedian
Its really irritating. Even people who like my work sometimes come up to me and say, I usually dont like female comedians, but your material is great! It makes the job prospect more daunting. Funny is funny, you know?
interesting nervous sometimes
Sometimes when Im nervous, thats when the most interesting things happen.
maps
Why are old maps always burnt?
