Melissa and I both say we don't write very good jokes.
I do think I am funny, or I wouldn't be where I am today. I do think there is always room for improvement and learning.
For doing comedy, a sense of humor is a must!
I've always liked being funny and making people laugh. I was a cut-up when I was a kid, and was always doing bits for my friends and family.
Comedy takes a very specific technique, specific skills.
My father was funnier than me. My father was Richard Pryor-funny. I'm just a better businessman.
At around 19 I realized that I really didn't have any skills other than making people laugh, so I should probably pursue it full-time.
There are so many really good comedians, and I would never be as good as they are. It's not my calling.
As you can tell from watching the show, I'm not a strong joke writer per se.
