What we're increasingly seeing is comics are becoming better known across the world. They're recording shows wherever they are, then putting them online for everyone. It has definitely changed in that way.
I'm sort of one of those weird actors who whenever I do a play, I think, 'Oh, we should film this,' as opposed to have to belt it out of ourselves in a theater auditorium.
Normally I'm not like a big TV person. I never use my DVR.
You go to work, tape five shows in one day and then go home and play golf for the rest of the week and then start the week all over. I thought if something like that came along, I'd love to do that.
I don't even watch my own show: I tape it, I'm out.
Definitely not a TV junkie. I only record shows I want to see but usually never get around to watching them.
Recording shows for later viewing is what TV types call 'time-shifting.' It's a beguiling idea.
Our D.V.R.s make up the schedule of the shows that we're passionate about. You want Jon Stewart? You've got it. Your D.V.R. will give that to you, as opposed to making the destination and the choice to spend that evening with a network.
I never watch anything live, I record all my programmes and have a real binge on a Friday night and watch them all.
