I've met architects before, and they're not living the life we see on TV.

So many shows don't have laugh tracks now that, when you hear it, it can be slightly jarring.
My goal is to generate more material for myself.
If Damon Wayans is not breaking, it's a miracle. He is so funny that he makes everyone die laughing.
My dad always said that 90 percent of marital problems could be solved by getting your blood sugar up, and he's right! So I would say pick a partner who's forgiving when you have low blood sugar and threaten to drive your car through your shared home.
Molly Shannon, for example, is someone I've always really looked up to, because her comedy is so physical and wild and unembarrassed and brave.
I love Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Adele.
There's a creative freedom with being under the radar. But I guess if you're too under the radar, you get canceled?
Once I made a boyfriend dress up as Woody Allen from 'Annie Hall.'
I went to drama school at NYU for serious acting. So I was doing Chekov and Sam Shepard plays.
Jake Johnson is one of my oldest friends.
I use a method approach to all my sitcom work.
My dad would write these sketches for me while I was at 'SNL.'
Kenya Moore is everything to me. She's everything.
Everything related to 'SNL,' that was very sudden - from the time I found out I was joining the cast to the time I could read on a blog that someone watching the show thinks I'm fat, that was about 30 days. That blog part, that could've moved a little more slowly. But hey - it's all material, right?
Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph - when they speak, everyone listens. Because they're freaking hilarious.
All of my favorite actresses are comedians at heart: Shirley MacLaine and Madeline Kahn, Diane Keaton and Debra Winger. And they are all amazing dramatic actresses, but everything they do is funny.
Instead of going into politics, I decided to go into comedy, which is the second most daunting career path for a woman.
Debra Winger blows me away, always.
I love the area I grew up in, which is right outside D.C., in Alexandria, Virginia.
Somewhere along the way, I think I realised that taking yourself seriously is the worst thing that you can do in life, so once I let that go, I've just let it all go. I have no standard of personal dignity.
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.
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.'
If you're going to be part of a nationally televised show that airs live and do sketches that haven't even been brainstormed a week earlier, you really can't be afraid to fail.
It's certainly strange to do sketch comedy with cue cards at midnight in a skyscraper as opposed to in a basement with your friends.
I'm the girl that writes feverishly in my tiny trailer on set.
My mom worked tirelessly on getting equal rights for women.
I'm a voyeuristic American.
