I think my goal was just to do comedy, honestly. It still is. Whatever form that took or takes, it doesn't matter.
Nick Kroll

Nick Kroll
My first job. I got fired from this MTV prank show, or I didn't make the cut of what ended up being, as we all know, Boiling Points. It was my first professional job and I was bragging.
Nick Kroll
My first concert isn't that cool or ironic. I wish it had been like, My first concert was the Backstreet Boys, but the first concert I went to, I think, was this band called The Samples.
Nick Kroll
I've decided to just keep doing Oh, Hello, where I play an older man who thinks he's very cultured. That clearly has not gone away.
Nick Kroll
Oftentimes the shows that don't work help you get it right.
Nick Kroll
The more you're able to understand how to do a good dramatic performance, that can inform your comedy. It all informs one another. And it keeps everything interesting.
Nick Kroll
I tend to play sort of douchey.
Nick Kroll
Really, more than anything, The 2000 Year Old Man is a huge influence on all of our comedy, but specifically the live version of Oh, Hello.
Nick Kroll
Everybody gets better looking on TV as shows go on.Even the nerds on Big Bang Theory are getting better looking. Their clothes are getting nicer. They're better groomed. It works for them.
