How did Reno 911 come about?
After Viva Variety, FOX wanted us to do a live, prime time sketch show. We cast it, (with our current Reno Cast, minus Wendi), and were four weeks from filming, when FOX changed their mind, and didn’t want a live sketch show any more. We still had $500,000, and four weeks, so we came up with Reno (a sketch show shot like Cops.) As we started improv-ing, though, the characters of the cops turned out to be more interesting than the preps. So, it sort of became a soap-opera. Fox passed, two years later, Comedy Central bought it.

You’re a standup comedian, voice-over actor, and an actor. Is there anything you don’t do?
I don’t sing! Except “Santoria” and “Wrong Way” by Sublime at Karaoke!
