Michael Ian Black: “The Secret To Becoming A Dad: Impregnate Someone”

Did you build your following organically or was there some marketing wizard behind you feeding you info as to the best way to go about it?
For me, it wasn’t particularly calculated. I just got in early and benefited from it, and was very good at it. The best thing as a comedian you can do is just be funny, and hopefully you’ll find an audience or an audience will find you. The kind of overt marketing and attempts to manipulate the audience, people see through that stuff. So the best thing you can do is be yourself and be honest. Take this Klondike thing for example. Yes, I’m being paid for it, but I also like the product. People just want to hear honesty.

Where’s the line someone should draw for what they’d do for a Klondike bar? In other words, how far is too far to go for something you want?
Don’t hurt anybody, unless that guy’s a jerk. Unless what you want is one a peanut and caramel Klondike bar. Then whomever you have to run over to get it that’s fine.

Any other candy-hybrid creations you think the world should be introduced to?
Salad. Skittles and salad. That makes sense. Perfect.
