There's nothing better for hosting a show than a bunch of people daytime-whiskey drunk.
Nick Kroll
A comedian is sort of like a wild animal. It really just depends on where you catch them. Sometimes they want to cuddle up, and sometimes they'll snap at you. But for me, more often than not, if I'm talking to somebody who makes their living in comedy, it'll be a very thoughtful conversation driven from an emotionally honest place.
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.

I gave the graduation speech at my high school. Not because I was valedictorian but because the grade voted for me to do it. And I gave a slightly contentious speech. I was a little critical of the administration. But for a long time it said on Wikipedia that I took my balls out and exposed myself to the crowd.

Like most lazy upper-middle-class kids, American Studies seemed like a fun way to use your knowledge of TV to get an A.
Nick Kroll
The thing that's the biggest bummer about any live show is a hot, sober room. So if it's during the day and people are a little buzzed, great.

Music was not a big deal to me when I was in middle school. And then I slowly became a big jazz fan. Even more than concerts, a lot of my high school time was spent going to jazz clubs in the city.

I was going to have Brian La Croix do a cameo on Degrassi. But, unfortunately, the scheduling didn't work out. When I was in Toronto, they weren't shooting. To me, that would've been a pretty crazy meta experience.
Nick Kroll
Although I'm a comedian, I'm also an amateur survivalist.
Nick Kroll
It was easier to know a character's point of view than it was to figure out what your point of view was.
Nick Kroll
The immediacy of public interaction is just unbeatable.
Nick Kroll
I was, like, a history major, and I minored in art and Spanish, but I found myself gravitating toward media studies as time went on.
Nick Kroll
I would be psyched to get a phone call from Al Sharpton. I need to find out who does his hair. It's beautiful. It's a gorgeous mane.
Nick Kroll
You think you're going to be on TV a year out of college and you're not. Then you tell people and it's embarrassing. And then it's not a big deal at all.
Nick Kroll
Go ahead and make up a ton of lies about me. That's way more interesting than pretending Wikipedia has any real information.
Nick Kroll
As long as it's not an easy, outdated stereotype and it comes from an interesting or emotionally driven place, then anyone can be made fun of.
Nick Kroll
My thinking is, if we're setting out to make comedy in which nothing is off limits, then everybody is fair game.
Nick Kroll
I'm sure there are people who say like, I was wearing weird emo eyeliner, but there's something pretty embarrassing about the jazz phase.
Nick Kroll
My experience in TV is that it takes time for shows to find their way.
Nick Kroll
I guess there should be somewhere on the Internet that feels like a source of sacred truth. But Wikipedia sure isn't it.
