Bowen Yang

And the energy in the city, it just felt like anything was possible.

And I was like, I'm going to do it.

I'm going to start being a version of myself now.

And I came out of the closet that summer, auditioned for the sketch comedy group and willed myself onto it.

And basically I had just Googled Wikipedia Amy Poehler.

It was just because she was the person I respected the most.

And I just followed, tried to emulate what she had done in college.

And she had been on the improv group and she had, I had found out she had started UCB.

So I signed up for a class that summer and I got in my sketch group and

Yeah.

That's how I met Bowen Yang at school.

He was in the improv group.

I was in the sketch group.

Met so many of my collaborators now.

So many people that are still in the business.

I'm working with Donald Glover right now.

He started that sketch group.

Rachel Bloom was in that sketch group.

I thought that the worst bullying I ever experienced would have been behind me because I went to high school and was in locker rooms on Long Island, which was kind of tough at that time.

I dealt with my fair amount of straight men bullying me.
