Martin! Thanks for doing this AMA.

The after school scene in Freaks and Geeks when Bill is eating a snack and watching Garry Shandling is the best. Such a memory flood every time I watch it.

How close is that scene to your own upbringing -- and who were your early influences?

Who is the funniest person working in comedy right now that we've never heard of, ya jew?

Ana! What was the best SNL sketch from your time on the show that never made it to air?

Thanks for your AMA!

I lent the book to someone a while ago and never got it back. I don't remember the exact quote verbatim, but I love the passage about Chris saving a scene during his improv days. It was something about one of the girls in the troupe going on first and totally bombing to the point of embarrassment. The other actors knew it, the audience knew it, and she knew it. But Chris went on and said something that totally saved the scene and got the show back on track. I loved how that passage revealed his comic genius.

Aside from the ones your raise, what's your favorite easy coast oyster? Also, what's your stance on cocktail sauce vs. just lemon/straight up. Lastly, if you haven't already, you must read "Consider the Oyster"! Excellent short read about how important the humble oyster is to food and society. Thanks!
