Who is your comic inspiration?
Paul Lynde (especially his role in "Bewitched"), Phyllis Diller, Dame Edna and Judy Tenuta. (with this list typed out, I've realized I'm actually a gay man.)

When did you know you were funny?
I knew I was funny the first time I did The Tonight Show and David Hasselhoff (the other guest) told me I was "a very talented hoot."

What was your worst stand-up gig ever?
Trying to break up the fight between Brett Butler, Drew Carey and Peter Engel.

Tell us a little more about yourself - hobbies, annoying habits, pet peeves etc.
My hobbies include watching talent competitions and then auditioning for all of them. I'm currently working on a set for Showtime at the Apollo. I also like to spend a lot of time responding to my parents' emails that read, "Are you getting these? We're not sure if this is working."
