-You know what?
It's too, um -- It's too hard to become a chore and what I mean by that is, ultimately, I go through a huge amount of material in the morning, I whittle it down to what I want to do.
I have a meeting -- -Right.
For the monologue?
-For the monologue.
I have a meeting about the guests and sometimes about the guest segments.
We have a meeting and then we go to rehearsal and then we go about crafting the monologue, which is a lot of work, so, it's one of those things where I'm so busy, I don't have time for it to feel like a chore.
I don't have the luxury of writer's block.
-But you still enjoy that hard work?
-I think so, yeah, I do.
-Yeah, I mean, it comes through, so I mean.
-Some nights more than others.
-I'm sure, I'm sure.
-Sometimes I will be walking down the stairs and go, "Oh, I got some good ones tonight I'm looking forward to," you know?
And sometimes I'm standing backstage, I just take a deep breath, I'm like, "What you have isn't that great and you're going to have to use whatever tools you have at your disposal to really sell it."
-Absolutely.
-And then sometimes it really goes really well and it feels really good, but then you got to do it again the next time, so.
