BuzzFeed was interesting because it was so international that people You were aware that like, oh man, like people in Japan are watching our stuff. We're being dubbed in different languages. So you were aware of that. But for me, I was never very proud of my online presence. I felt like as someone who came from improv and sketch, I was still performing at I.O. every night.

And then I realized that my improv group, we realized people were coming to see our group. Because of my online presence. And we were more used to, all right, guys, we got 10 people in the crowd tonight. Let's go crazy. That's three more than last week. We're killing it.

It's so good. And then all of a sudden, we have a packed I.O. for, we're like, what is going on? But they're coming because... They're actually paying attention when I post. I have a show at I.O. tonight. And, like, people were coming. I was like, what are these people doing here? And they're like, you said you had a show.

I was like, oh, you get so used to no... I don't know, but you were part of, like, the heyday of UCB. But I'm just saying, like, in my world, it was like, if you got eight people in the audience, it was like... Oh, a hundred of those are always trying to get people.

I came to just appreciate it as another stage. If you can get on a stage and do stand-up, get on an improv stage and do improv, why can't you make a video to... Isn't that what we want to do as performers anyway?

Absolutely. Absolutely. That's what it really did for me. I had taken writing courses. I had studied comedic writing. But I do think writing for BuzzFeed was the best way to learn how to do it for massive audiences, which is a skill that I still see writers learn. peers. Hmm. They don't technically teach you that in school.

I think it's something you learn by doing.

I think it's something you learn by doing.

I think it's something you learn by doing.

Yes. Absolutely. Which is so freeing. Yeah. It makes you a more collaborative person and makes for better work. And I think so BuzzFeed definitely did that. We made, which was insane. We would make like three videos a week that were going to be shared and seen by like millions and millions of people. And if one bombed, it was like, I'm already on my next video.
