And if I have any kind of cachet right now at this moment, I want to do a comedy and I want to do a comedy like The Office.

Because I was never good at the four-camera stuff.

sitcom, I just felt too much pressure and it wasn't like, I always feel like characters weren't really rooted in a reality the way The Office was.

And that goes back to how I met Paul Lieberstein.

We were both employed on The Naked Truth and he was a writer.

My agent had kind of reached out and at the same time, Paul had reached out, I guess, to him.

I don't know who got there first, but it was I really think it was like about the same week.

And Paul had mentioned that he was also a fan of The Wire, as were some of the other writers.

So it was kind of a culmination of all those worlds coming together.

I don't remember reading a script.

I remember hearing it was a one episode only and potential love interest, which obviously I knew was code for we'll see how you do, kid, if we have you back.

I remember also because I was a big fan of the British series, David finally gets a woman who likes him too.

So it was loosely based, I think, on her for the first episode.

And then our group took it to a different level.

So there was no script that I was privy to, but I knew the kind of general idea of it.

Really weird.

It was really weird.

It's because also then now I'm a fan of the American version.

And you start to know...

the set obviously from the comfort of your couch or your tablet or whatever it is you know when you get there it's like oh everything's smaller and then there you all were so warm and welcoming you know there's always an element of being the new kid in school and how's that going to go down but and also you guys at this point are on a really massive you know big hit show and it was the most down-to-earth welcoming warm group of people like true ensemble
