I was a DJ in college and had my own punk music-focused show all four years.

I don't think I've ever had a conversation with a comedian who stole except for when it's been in anger.
I can't stand USC. They get such media attention.
There's a creative vibe at U.C.B., and to maintain it, we can't pay people. If you pay, then you have to assign worth to shows, and then people will resent that.
You're always starting with a nugget of truth, whether it's a song or an improv scene.
It's almost kind of satisfying when you get direct proof that someone stole your bit. It makes the times you had the paranoid suspicion feel less crazy.
I got really depressed when Sidney Moncrief lost to Larry Bird. That really depressed me.
I feel like there are a lot of bands or musicians that probably think improv is corny, because I think that's a sentiment out there.
I like musicals that are sometimes comedic, but I haven't even seen the Monty Python musical, and I'm a huge Monty Python fan.
We agree that there is a problem in the sketch and improv community where, in general, there should be more interest from a more diverse sampling of our society. That is precisely why we do have diversity scholarships and why we've put together a diversity program to try to figure this problem out.
