with what was happening at the show and what I was learning and how for the first time I felt like I fit in.

And I remember landing from London, like the wheels hitting the ground in New York and things were, oh, it's good to be home.

And I thought, oh, that's a dangerous thing to think because this is not my home.

Like I'm on a working visa.

If I feel that way, I might need to start

making plans for this truly being my home because before it had just felt like

a fun adventure that I was having.

Then you realize, oh no, I think I love this more than I've loved anything.

And there were people at the Daily Show at the time using it as a springboard because it was such a big deal, the show.

Steve Carell was just before me.

He'd gone.

I turned up.

Ed Helms was his last week.

So he was going off to the office.

And The Hangover as well was coming up.

Exactly.

So they were all doing stuff.

But I didn't want to do any of that.

So I didn't want it to be a springboard at all.

I didn't want to go out on auditions.
