What Do You Think The Most Difficult Part of SURVIVOR Will Be? Is "nothing" a valid answer? (Laughs) I mean, the elements and the challenges will be a breeze since I love being outdoors as it is, and I am also a pretty athletic person. Being a comedian, I do a lot of travelling, so I know what it's like to be away from my family and to have to be resourceful in order to survive. I'm also just naturally someone that people like to be around and have a good time with. Sure, there may be some jerks I never want to see again, but I don't see myself having a problem getting along with most people there, nor do I see myself having a problem getting into a good alliance.

Previous SURVIVOR You Are Most Like: None! I am my own unique person and I plan on playing the game my own way. There's nobody I want to compare myself to... except for the winners when I join that group! (Laughs)

Do You Have a Strategy for Winning the Game?: I'm just gonna go out there, be myself and make these people laugh while going balls to the wall and playing this game hard! Since I've been doing stand-up now for almost 15 years, I know how to tell the most ludicrous stories while keeping a straight face! I just love it when people come up to me after a show and ask if whatever ridiculous story I told on stage was true! (Chuckles) My key of course to winning this game will just be the fact that I'll always make sure I'm in a good position, and if I'm ever in a pickle, I'll just lie my way out of it, I don't give a s***! Over the years, I've gotten myself to the point where people can't tell by looking at me whether or not I'm lying. Even better for me is the fact that I've been doing improv comedy since high school, so I have tons of experience just making s*** up on the spot and running with it. So yeah, there's not a doubt in my mind that I've got a very good chance of winning this thing, and I am just so excited to start playing the game!
