- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was a little kid, I was a huge fan of 'The Kids in the Hall.' They were like my boy band. I was obsessed with sketch comedy. Being raised Christian, I was somewhat sheltered from the more radical high-art world. So to me, comedy was where people got to express themselves in an abstract way. It was a big part of my growing up.
- Feeling
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My gut feeling about sequels is that they should be premeditated: You should try to write a trilogy first or at least sketch out a trilogy if you have any faith in your film.
- Fun
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's what I've trained for, from the first sketch to the fabric. Making dresses that are different from the usual style, and a lot of fun to wear.

- Nov 07, 2020
Every sketch goes through a rewrite stage where a group of writers sits around a table and pitches more jokes and ideas for the piece.
- Process
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was fascinated with the writing process and seeing the evolution of a sketch and how it would change up to the minute before it went on the air.
- Funny
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I would call it a comedy variety show. We have some people just doing straight standup. We usually try to have one musical act of sort. So its just people being funny in different ways, not just sketch, not just standup, not just characters, all of those things.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think the great sketch shows, like 'Python' and 'Mr. Show,' they didn't stick around for very long. There's something kind of cool about that.
- Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I don't have a project going, I sit down and begin to write something - a character sketch, a monologue, a description of some sight, or even just a list of ideas.
- Nothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's no job like 'SNL.' There's no other job you go to where you're like, 'Oh, this is like that live, late-night sketch variety-musical show that shoots in, whatever it is, 10,000 feet of sound stage.' There's nothing like it.
- Comedy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's sketch, improv, writing, acting, music, and badminton. Those are the seven forms of comedy.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's sketch, improv, writing, acting, music, and badminton. Those are the seven forms of comedy. But I do like the idea of being an auteur in the sense of writing and being in your own stuff.
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My way of dealing with not really fitting in at my very crappy New England high school and junior high was to write sketch comedy and satirical takedowns of the social hierarchies. At the same time, I was developing a love for movies at the height of the '90s New York indie movie explosion: everything from 'Rushmore' to Nicole Holofcener movies.
- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love modeling because I get to see everything that inspires me. Then I go home and sketch.

'Mad TV' is one of my most favorite shows of all time and is a huge part of my obsession with sketch comedy.
- Laugh
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My friends say I make them laugh a lot, so I think that somewhere in me is a little comedic ability that comes out in the most inappropriate or unexpected moments. I did a lot of sketch comedy years ago. That's always in me.
- Desire
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I still have a desire to do some sketch comedy. My dream is to be on 'SNL,' to host 'SNL.'

Canadian comedians are generally more well-rounded... They have to do a lot more. In order to have a career in this country, you have to do everything. And in the States you can narrow-cast, you can be just a sitcom performer or a stand-up comedian or a sketch performer.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was always a big fan of Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner's '2000-Year-Old Man' sketch. I think it's one of the biggest influences on the podcast, definitely. You'd never say Carl Reiner was the funniest dude on there, because he's just teeing it up, but he knows what questions to ask to lead to great improv.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I told my 18-year-old self that one day I'd have a sitcom and a sketch show on TV, I think he'd just drum his fingers and go, 'When? How long is that going to take?'
- Going
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Reno' was originally going to be a sketch show, with the cops as a transitional element.
- Drastically
- |

Sketch shows change gears so drastically every two minutes. I think sketch shows are for sketch fans; they're not really for everybody.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I took classes and performed and did improv and sketch and wrote sketches and did lights and sound for other people's shows just so I could be around the theater. That was about seven nights a week for seven years.
- Fun
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A couple of friends and I started a sketch comedy group when we were teenagers, just for fun and to start creating stuff. It was a blast.
- Hair
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The gummy bears tattoo was my idea. It's my son's favorite candy. The sketch was my other son's idea. It's a self-portrait of himself. I just showed the artist his sketch and had him tattoo it on my forearm. It looks like a stick person with big hair. It's pretty funny.
- Follow
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Get into your own creativity. Sketch and paint with different mediums and follow your heart.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Usually I start with a concept, which I then sketch out so that I can get a feel for the character. The character doesn't really become real to me until I draw them.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No one will ever be as good as Phil Hartman. He was such an amazing genius, and may be the best sketch performer of all time.
- Back
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most sketch aficionados have an enormous amount of respect for 'Mr. Show.' I didn't have HBO back then, so I was always trying to find episodes. Bob Odenkirk and David Cross became celebrities, and Jay Johnston - who's lesser known, but brilliant - deserves a lot of credit, too.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'd worked on music docs for years. It felt like writing a novel. By the time I got to Keith Richards, it felt like making a sketch.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Commercial directing felt like a very natural transition from my comedy, sketch, music video directing experience.
- Interesting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Graphic novels are such a visually creative world - it's really interesting what they can do in one sketch. Now I'm hooked.
- Pray
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I pray to the shrine of 'Mr. Show.' It saved sketch comedy.
- Clothes
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can sketch up a storm, and I'm very involved in how clothes are constructed, but I have a short attention span.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At this point, I feel fairly comfortable in terms of performance. I think having a sketch background actually helps a lot. Because my background is acting, and stand-up, in a lot of ways, is acting.
- Name
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
During my military service, I performed a sketch in which I played a flea called Max. So when critics kept misspelling my name, I decided to change it and thought, 'Ah! Max!'

I'm more of a sketch guy than a standup.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One fan wrote asking for a very specific autographed photo. He wanted me to pose in tight jeans and boots and even enclosed a sketch of how I should dress! A lot of them just say they wish they had a girlfriend like me. They're very endearing letters.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The label 'wife of the prime minister' is like a giant signboard pointing at my head from a Monty Python sketch. But I am not Mrs. Prime Minister. I'm a human being.
- Fashion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was 10 or 11, I started to sketch, and my drawings happened to be like fashion drawings... I'm lucky to have had this dream to chase since I was very young.
- Partner
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Pyrapshere' began as a sketch for a variety show I produced called 'A Pretty Good Show.' My partner, Andersen Gabrych, and I expanded it into a full-fledged faux-religion, including a list of 21 tenets, sacred symbols, testimonials, and even a clothing line. Many people believed it was a real thing and wanted to join.
- Situation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you're writing a sketch, it has to be surrounded by a situation. It can't just be out of the air.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love doing different things where, for a little while, I can focus on standup then sketch writing, then performing, then directing a video. That, to me, is stimulating.
- Short
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you do a sketch, that's a very short narrative. Stand-up, it's bit-to-bit, minute-long narratives.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We end the show with something that's never been on TV because it was too big for a sketch but we couldn't stretch it out to make a whole episode because it would have been too long, but we always thought it was really good.
- Memories
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's absolutely surprising to me how well 'The State' has held up as far as people liking it and having fond memories of it, considering it's a sketch show.
- Memories
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's absolutely surprising to me how well 'The State' has held up as far as people liking it and having fond memories of it, considering it's a sketch show. I think one of the things that helped its mystique is, it never came out on DVD or video or whatever.
- Face
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every movie I do, or when I'm on the sketch comedy show, I don't really get into it until I have an outfit or something funny with my head or face or something.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was very serene, and I still am, until I start talking in another voice, then suddenly I have a lot of volume and I'm frantic. But I didn't want to be one of those people who's always talking in accents in real life, so I started doing sketch comedy.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Getting recognized on the street is fine, but I never really wanted to be famous. I just wanted to have mastered the art of sketch comedy.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think, in comedy, you only hit about one or two great characters in your career. Sometimes my character will be just a sketch... what is the funniest situation to put this person in?
- Genius
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Working off one genius sketch is not the way great architecture should be made.
- Outside
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We did the 'MacGruber' Super Bowl spot for Pepsi, which generated some outside interest. We have a sketch where a guy blows up after 90 seconds. How are we going to make that into a movie?
- Catalogue
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I normally keep a series of draft in a catalogue type of book in which I scribble, sketch and draw ideas.
- Language
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'One Leg Too Few' by Peter Cook is a perfect sketch. The setting is ridiculous, the language is beautiful, and the performances make the most of every syllable and movement.
- Morning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Well, I get my subject on Wednesday night; I think it out carefully on Thursday, and make my rough sketch; on Friday morning I begin, and stick to it all day, with my nose well down on the block.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I call it 'the Etch A Sketch life.' Every few years, you should shake that thing up.
- Curiosity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can't do sketches enough. Sketch everything and keep your curiosity fresh.
- Reality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Though we explore in a culturally-conditioned way, the reality we sketch is universal.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Stand-up for me is just my opinions on things, so it wouldn't be as fun translated into a sketch. Nor would a sketch be as fun if it were me standing there saying it.
- First Thing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I sit down to make a sketch from nature, the first thing I try to do is to forget that I have ever seen a picture.
- Mini
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A sketch is just a mini movie.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I sketch while I'm on set, and it's a way for me to record all of the locations I've been to. I don't keep a diary but a sketchbook.
- Gifted
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a really gifted physical comedienne. I write and produce a lot of sketch comedy.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At first, there was a separation of clubs and sketch comedy. Now there's all kinds of comedy, making us one big happy family.
- Dark
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
That's what I love about sketch comedy: a sketch is five minutes, then it goes dark, and there's the potential for something else.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Maybe it's just my improv and sketch background, but I'm a lot more comfortable in a group. I like sharing focus and populating an ensemble.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you want good sketches, go pick up Sid Caesar. The best of Your Show of Shows. That's the greatest sketch comedy you'll ever see on television.
- Drawing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I start with an idea in my head. I sketch it out quickly as a line drawing, using pencil. It never comes out quite right - usually a bit better than my mental picture.
- Face
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The first piece of art that I ever bought-when I could afford it-was a Warhol sketch from the period when he was just getting out of doing commercial work and more into art. It's a sketch of a young guy's face. I guess the gallery that I bought it from thought I would like it because the young guy kind of looked like James Dean.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I would go to sketch groups and draw. I really enjoyed the subject matter, but I wasn't good at it.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never travel without my sketch book.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Usually in a Smosh sketch, we get 60 shots, 12 hours to shoot - we're just going 'bam, bam, bam.'
- Perfect
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What I've learned from sketch is you can get it as perfect as you want, and it's never going to be perfect.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You asked what is the secret of a really good sketch. And it is a sketch is a small play. It's got a beginning, and a middle and an end. It should have a plot; it should have the characters, conflict. It is a little play. And in it, will be funny stuff.
