"Not everybody agrees on what's funny, obviously." — Tim Meadows

I had the afro when I was in high school. I had the flattop during a short period in the early '90s. And I've had different variations of dreadlocks. I'll admit to those!

I like doing films and I wish that I could do more but I still have to audition. I don't get offered starring roles in movies even though I've written and starred in a movie.

At a certain point in my personal life, I went through a divorce and lost some people close to me.

Learning lines is my biggest challenge.

In my experience with women that I've dated and my wife now, is you have to know what they care about. And even if you aren't a huge fan of it, you still have to have interest in it and it has to be genuine because women do it for men all the time.

Out of 30 years of Second City I was probably the third African-American with the main stage cast. I was surprised when I first heard that. I think part of the reason that improvisation has never been popular with African-Americans is that it isn't popular in the inner cities.

I was not funny growing up.

I've never been arrested. I've been stopped, searched and had a gun put to my head by the Chicago cops.
