The tendency in comedy is to have a character who's stupid get more stupid, because you're trying to top yourself and not just repeat.

I've been deadline-driven for my whole grown-up life, and that hasn't gone away. It is nice to be able to reflect about the big picture, about what kind of stories you want to tell, and how to take advantage of success.
