I’m not a big ‘scripted comedy’ person necessarily. I’m open for wherever comedy can be found. Jonathan Krisel Read Quote
I look at a show like ‘Roseanne.’ That’s super influential on me. It’s very funny, very real, with real problems. That was a big influence, and I don’t know if you see that all the time in the network world. Jonathan Krisel Read Quote
I know comedy; I know how to do crazy, off-the-wall stuff that makes me laugh out loud. Jonathan Krisel Read Quote
The end goal is to make a piece that everybody has ownership over and everybody’s proud of because everybody contributed to it. I think there’s a communist, socialist vibe to ‘Portlandia’ to make it work. Jonathan Krisel Read Quote
There’s some moments in your life where you’re just like, ‘I need something just funny.’ That’s the noble thing you can do. Make someone forget about their life for 22 minutes. Jonathan Krisel Read Quote

It’s how you define yourself. It’s not Nirvana or Pearl Jam: it’s, ‘Do you watch ‘Portlandia’ or ‘Amy Schumer’?’ It relates to a specific sense of humor. And, ‘Do you know the hidden gems?’ Like, if you knew the Pixies in the ’80s. Jonathan Krisel Read Quote
With all the outlets, if you have a strong comedic voice, there’s a venue to do your thing. It’s a bit of a meritocracy, where the best stuff rises to the top. Jonathan Krisel Read Quote
