On why he started doing comedy:
“I was [previously] a water meter reader. I moved to
On when he first felt like he “made it”
“I don't know if you ever feel like you make it. When I first started, I did a couple late-night shows and I performed on some cruise ships. That was a moment of, ‘All right, worst case scenario, I can do these cruise ships.’ So, [when] you just hit those markers … you just feel it's getting bigger.”
On his pre-performance routine
“I call my wife and daughter before every show and they say, ‘Be funny.’ ”
On Nateland Entertainment and upcoming film, The Breadwinner
“I was never great at auditioning for other people’s movies. So I kind of figured I would have to just make my own. I want to be able to create movies that hopefully the whole family can come out to. I believe people still want to go to movies and [that they] still like appointment-type television. My goal is to eventually be producing and making shows. Then hopefully get out of the way and let the next wave of comedians come up."
On his worst financial decision when his career started taking off
“One night I decided I'm going to try to watch movies that smart people watch. So, I bought One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest on Apple. But it was already on Netflix and I didn't notice it. I could have watched it for free. I'm just like, Why would I not check Netflix first? So that's a tough one to get over.”
On reprising his iconic George Washington role on SNL
“I was worried about doing it again, but when I saw the new one it felt like he had different enough parts and I realized it was just fun to be George Washington.”
On his favorite fast-food order
“McDonald's No. 1. No onions, Diet Coke and a little Filet-O-Fish ‘side sandwich.’ I just had McDonald’s [at his hotel] last night. DoorDash at a hotel is embarrassing. You're going to the door and you're like, ‘Let me meet you in an alley. I don't want these people seeing this.’ I've got a big problem.”
