What was the first thing you watched on TV? How do you feel about Vanilla Ice goes Amish (since I'm watching it right now)?

I have the utmost respect for people who work in comedy. People don't seem to understand how hard it is to actually do it. Everyone thinks its just getting up and telling a few jokes. Jokes aren't funny, they're lame. You need to get up there, tell a story, set a scenario and then bring it back around and tie everything together at the end. I have a lot of friends that do stand up and I wish I could do what they do.

Did you ever do any improv?

That is an AWESOME story.

Ray, you were in a lot of my favorite movies. One of the things that doesn't get talked about much is that you were in my favorite episode of one of my favorite shows ever. You on ER was incredible. Any stories you can share about doing that? Would you ever do anything on TV again? Thanks for your time and I can't wait to see your new film this weekend!

Fuck, I love West Side Story. Upvote for the reference.

Is there actual animosity between improv and stand up, or just you keep separate?
