A straight factor is important in any comedy, because you need something to tee it up and also to ground it.

Obviously, I did a couple of things right on the old casting couch.

Tony Hale is a devout Christian and is a complete retard when it comes to swearing. The script called for him to swear for about 30 seconds and he just couldn`t do it.

Will Arnett is one of the funniest guys I know. He has seen it all and done it all and come out the other end pretty savvy and pretty strong.

People have often asked if I`m gay because I don`t go out of my way to spit and scratch and give people attitude.

If people are going to complain about stereotyping, it`s as likely to be Italian-Americans as gay people.

I just love doing sitcoms. I`d be in them till I was gray if they`d have me.

I`ve been offered a couple of leads in some movies that really suck. I mean, you know, if they`re offering me the lead, the script ain`t that great. The stuff that`s good, I`m a little further down the cast list.

I have a tendency to evolve into William Shatner, with my big fat face.

By definition, gay is smart. I see plenty of macho heterosexual idiots, but nine times out of 10 you can have a great conversation if you find a gay guy.
