I guess there should be somewhere on the Internet that feels like a source of sacred truth. But Wikipedia sure isn't it.

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.

Mel Brooks came to see Oh, Hello in L.A. Mulaney and I had a meeting with him, and we invited him to come to the show, and he saw the Oh, Hello show live in L.A. To me, he's the most famous person. Having him come to our show that was so inspired by both of us loving The Producers and all his movies.

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.

A job is a job, and there are days that are going to be boring, or you have a boss you don't like, or people you work with.

My thinking is, if we're setting out to make comedy in which nothing is off limits, then everybody is fair game.

Oftentimes the shows that don't work help you get it right.
Nick Kroll
You get to have some bigger comedic moments with some very real dramatic stuff. All that in one makes for a fulfilling artistic job.

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.

The immediacy of public interaction is just unbeatable.
Nick Kroll
My experience in TV is that it takes time for shows to find their way.
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.

Although I'm a comedian, I'm also an amateur survivalist.
Nick Kroll
In New York, you are forced into having very public lives and observing all types of people, what they sound like, what they're reading, what they smell like, what they are listening to, how they talk to their friends.

As long as it's not an easy, outdated stereotype and it comes from an interesting or emotionally driven place, then anyone can be made fun of.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
It was sort of in the jam-band era and it was at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester [New York], right where I grew up. I actually went back there a couple years ago when I was on tour for Kroll Show. I performed at that theater, which was really cool to go back to the first place I'd gone to a concert.
Nick Kroll
For me, the goal wasn't to turn the stand-up special on its head, but to do what I do specifically, and hopefully that reads as something new.
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
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
In general in comedy, there are fewer people making a ton of money and a lot more people making a living. For me, the goal is just being able to make exactly the show I wanted to make.
