It may be a scene or two, or it may be an enormous workload, but there's really not a lot of room for anything else, and that's the choice I made.

I always thought Johnny Carson was just brilliant, and I used to watch him and all the comics that would be on the show every night - and I'd dream about it being me.

I don't think I've ever done a real mini-series, but I love doing film first and foremost.
