There’s definitely something about the structure of ‘Caddyshack’ that is unique that no one has ever been able to achieve since then. Scott Aukerman Read Quote
I’m a huge Bob Hope fan, up until about the late ’50s. I’ve seen so many of his movies up until then, and they’re a big influence on me and a big influence on Woody Allen, who is basically just ripping off Bob Hope for his first five or six movies. Scott Aukerman Read Quote
Comedy is really best when watched with other people, and I don’t really understand people who sit at home watching comedy movies on Netflix. Scott Aukerman Read Quote
I think you’re a better comedian when you’re in the moment and you’re kind of reacting to what’s happening like a real person instead of doing rote memorization. Scott Aukerman Read Quote
I was a standup comic, which doesn’t necessarily mean you interact with people all that much. In fact when I did shows, I wouldn’t talk to the audience very much. Then my friend offered me a radio show, and I thought, you know, I’ll try talking to people and see what kind of interviewer I was. Scott Aukerman Read Quote
When I was younger, I definitely had more of a dream, as they say on ‘American Idol,’ that I would have my own show. I always thought that that was something that would happen, that eventually I would just get my own show because anyone who wants their own show should get their own show. Scott Aukerman Read Quote
There’s always something interesting about comedy teams that have the exact same energy. The one time I really noticed that was Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in ‘Step Brothers.’ Scott Aukerman Read Quote
Podcasts feature comedians being as funny as they can be in a non-censored situation. It’s really akin to standup in a way. When you go see a comedian in standup, that is the most pure, unadulterated form of their art. Scott Aukerman Read Quote
I think comedians should focus on what makes them happy, what art form fulfills them the most. Don’t be calculated about it and say, ‘Okay, I’m gonna tweet, and I’m gonna podcast, and I’m gonna do standup, and one of those things is going to lead me to my own TV show.’ I don’t think that should be the goal.

I think expressing yourself and working hard can’t help but have great results. Look at Zach Galifanakis. He didn’t tweet. He didn’t have a podcast. He just went out and did the funniest standup you’ll ever see in your life. And he was rewarded for that. Scott Aukerman Read Quote
