I think he's one of the greatest comedians.
And he kind of, when I went to NYU-
used to emcee the shows, and he would talk to me after my shows.
I think the reason they used to hire me is I used to bring a crowd.
So even though I wasn't that good, there was this place called the Paper Moon, and I used to bring a crowd from NYU.
And Colin used to say, you're so much funnier hanging out when we're talking in the daytime.
You're doing something weird up there.
And I used to try to go, OK, I got to be more myself.
And then I would just panic right away and start doing something else.
I guess I wasn't comfortable with being myself.
And then it took a while to get to sit in it and just be OK with not getting a laugh and plowing through and that kind of stuff.
Man, I auditioned for everything at NYU.
