norSNLissued a statement on the incident.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What was the original genesis ofClown Service?
One day, my friend decided to not go to class and to spend the day with pitiful me.
What do you like about takingClown Serviceon tour?
The films production was delayed because of all that was going on.
I would say its the most fun and free Ive felt on stage in years.
Have you heard fromLouis C.K.
since theSNLsketchaired?No.
We got a statement about the sketch from you but not from Louis C.K.
It was not a secret.
It is a film that has meant a lot to me and many other people.
Youre currently working on season 2 ofOne Mississippi.
Are there any big lessons you learned from the first season that youre applying to the new material?
It makes it fun to see the what if side of life.
Anything else you could tease about your tour and upcoming projects?
Ive been preparing for my next stand-up special, which Im aiming to film this fall after my tour.
I think I have another book in me at some point.
