No.

Just a performer.

Isn't that crazy?

Yeah.

We all wrote.

You have to write to get yourself on the show.

I wrote with so many different people, like Paula Pell and Steve Korn.

But basically, it feels like when I first got there, I was so, you know, oh my gosh, how do you figure this out?

But it just takes...

you know, feeling comfortable with one person in the room.

I think you have to be able to be yourself.

But I always tell people who are trying to get into writing, if you just have that one person that you can be in the room with where you don't feel dumb throwing out ideas and you can really fully be yourself, that's all it takes, you know, or write by yourself.

I didn't feel the pain when it was going on.

I would throw myself into metal chairs and do crazy stuff.

And I look at that now and I'm like, Oh my God, I'm so glad I didn't break my neck or, you

Because you don't really think.

Yeah, I wasn't even thinking about that.

But then the next day when I would wake up, I would definitely feel like, oh, my muscles hurt, and I would have cuts and bruises.

So I would feel it the next day.

But I also liked it because I felt like I worked really hard and threw myself into the character.
