Once you're in a room like '30 Rock,' it's a creative setting, so you write more even after you go home, just because you're still in that mode of coming up with jokes. So the job wasn't sapping standup jokes, but it was sapping stand up time and energy, and I wouldn't be able to travel as much. Hannibal Buress comecreativeenergy share on social
You forget that sometimes comedy is just a big night out for people. Almost every show, people come up to me and go, 'This is the first comedy show I've ever seen,' so you want to do well. If you do horribly at somebody's first time seeing live stand-up, well, you've not only tainted yourself, you've tainted a whole art form. Hannibal Buress artbigcomedy share on social
I skipped kindergarten because I was reading at a pretty high level. That's a weird and cocky thing to say, but I was real sharp, and I knew that early on. Hannibal Buress cockyearlyhigh Change image and share on social

'SNL' doesn't have a traditional writer's room. On Monday, there's the pitch meeting with the guest, and I played that like it was stand-up. Hannibal Buress guestmeetmonday Change image and share on social
My second year of college, I started performing comedy at an open mic. It was good to do open mics with the kids. It's a good, safe spot to start, you know? Hannibal Buress collegecomedygood Change image and share on social
In the future, I want to do an action movie! I'm going to get in shape, get ripped, and have my Chris Pratt transformation. And then become a movie star like that. Hannibal Buress actionchrisfuture Change image and share on social
People like to compare something to something that they know. Even with Chris Rock, they say he's like Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy. Hannibal Buress chriscompareeddie Change image and share on social
I don't like to post fresh standup material, because I want to use it in a special. The stuff I like to post online I like to be off-the-cuff moments. Hannibal Buress cufffreshmaterial Change image and share on social
