Working with Tracy Morgan on '30 Rock' is really great. I love Tracy. He's wonderful. Well, until his fish tank caught fire - his apartment burned up and flooded my apartment. We live in the same building, but I'm eight floors below him and we had to evacuate.
I use a smoke alarm as a timer.
I got a smoke alarm at home, but really it's more like a 9-volt-battery-slowly-drainer.
One day, when we were coming back from school, we saw this big cloud of smoke coming up, and all these fire-trucks in the yard. The garage was burning down. I was 14, and we'd lost everything.
They're a damn nuisance - I've got one in my bathroom and every time I run my bath the steam sets it off.
In high school, I tried to cook dinner for a girl, and it was horrific. It was at her house. I was trying to make pork chops with my mom's recipe, just trying to be Mr. Awesome, like, 'Yeah, I cook, too.' But I just burned everything. There was smoke everywhere.
I once lived in a cottage made entirely of wood, and there was an electrical fire. We all ran outside, and no one got hurt, but the house was demolished.
I'm so lazy I've got a smoke alarm with a snooze button.

"What would you take out then, Walter?" Nanny said. "The fire!
Every person I talk to has a story about how their smoke alarm went off or woke them up with a battery beeping. So you take it off the wall and you take the battery out and say 'screw this.' They hate the products.
The smoke alarm went off in the hallway upstairs, either to let us know the battery had just died or because the house was on fire.
I'm not saying my wife's a bad cook, but she uses a smoke alarm as a timer.
I have slight attention-span issues, so I will often wander off, and then I will be alerted - in inverted commas - when the smoke alarm goes off. So that's how I work out if a bake is finished.
My colleagues, we're here to smoke the little bugger out.
