“The whole script is very funny, and then when it goes in front of the live audience, some of the jokes land better than some of the other ones,” he says. “The ones that don’t land, they stop the taping, the writers all get together, they walk over to you and tell you your new line and you re-do the scene.”

“I almost had a full diarrhea attack,” he says. “They gave me an extra line and I was like ‘Oh!’ And then I was like, ‘I have to do it now?’ “
