He's one of the nicest guys in the world, but he's also a really strong performer.

You know what I mean?

He's constantly trying to find the acting beats and stuff like that, or trying to find his character and make it work.

It's never surface-level approaches, kind of like myself.

I go towards...

you know, a face or, you know, an accent or a voice kind of thing.

And I don't necessarily go deep diving with like motivation necessarily.

If I didn't write it, you know, it's like, can you though, because you're doing so much, I can, I just don't enjoy that necessarily.

You know what I mean?

Like if it's too tedious, it feels like work, work, and then it's not fun.

Yeah.

I need it to be fun because we spend so much time doing it, you know, like we spend so much time inside 30 rock.

So yeah,

if I wasn't able to like dress comfortably or anything like that, I think it would be, I don't think my tenure would be as long necessarily.

Can you indulge me and walk me through what a week is like on that show from Sunday up until the show?

I mean, Sunday, I guess before the season starts is like,

everybody's kind of like waiting on that Monday.

Like the writers come in a couple of weeks before that.

And like, I think cast is welcome to do so, but they're still kind of auditioning people.

So everything is kind of crunching down to that last moment.
