I think the best thing I ever did was, years before I got the 'Late Night' show, when I first got out to Los Angeles to be a television writer, the first thing I did was I signed up to take improvisational classes... And I studied that for years, and I really loved it.
I started out in the Apollo Theater. That's where I got my start. I won Amateur Night four weeks in a row.
