We had a home in Louisa County, but we basically lived on a bus until I was 8 or 10. When you're in a new town every night, you have to make friends fast, so you try to be funny. Show less «

I was bored a lot, he recalls, and I started writing jokes because there was really nothing else to do.

I was a huge David Letterman fan, even going back to when he was on NBC. My parents would only let me watch a half hour of television a day, so I would record Letterman the night before and then watch it when I came home from school. That's what made me want to do a TV show. Show less «

We would call one of the hundreds of Shiffletts in the phone book and, for example, I'd tell them I was from a gay pride organization, thanking them for their donation, and saying I wanted to get the spelling of their name right because there was going to be a big color ad in the Daily Progress. They'd get furious and say, 'I'm gonna sue you! Show less «

My job was basically to make popcorn and stay out of the way, but there were always a lot of scripts flying around, so I would secretly grab one when I wasn't busy. I was fascinated with the writing process and seeing the evolution of a sketch and how it would change up to the minute before it went on the air. I could see the creative process, and everybody was very nice, so it was like a little school. Show less «

Miss March is part buddy movie, part road picture and all sex comedy. Moore said it centers around two best friends from high school.

You do get ripped off sometimes, and we felt like this was pretty blatant. But when MySpace put our clip up, we got 280,000 downloads.

The script was sort of unorthodox in how it came to be. Fox actually came to us," Moore said. "We weren't crazy about the script, but Fox said we could completely rewrite it. It was like a road-trip sex-movie writing exercise." Show less «

There have been dozens of details to keep track of for Miss March, Moore said. We had to join the Writers Guild and the Directors Guild.

They're really open, said Moore of his "Leno" corresponding They're never like, 'We need you to fit this.

As long as it's funny, there's not really anything that's off limits. As long as it's not just mean-spirited to be mean-spirited.

I'm psyched, says Moore. Most young comedians would be lying to say that they weren't huge Weird Al fans when they were kids. Weird Al is probably the first person I ever realized had a career that was just making jokes. We do a lot of music stuff in our show, and I think that's inspired both by Weird Al and Monty Python.

It's the perfect format for comedy, says Moore. You can get in, make the certain amount of jokes that you want to make about a certain topic, and when you've said all you want to say, you can just end it. And they don't have to segue together. You can talk about the Kennedy assassination, and then one minute later just be like, 'Now I want to talk about Thanksgiving family dinner.' Show less «

I live off of Diet Coke and Nicorette.

I like Doug from The Civil War on Drugs. He's probably one of my favorite characters that we've written.

The John Williams sketch is long, but I really like it a lot. It has us all in it.

We're using the Civil War as a template for what we want to do next.

Timmy is very childlike, he plays innocent children very well. Darren does a spot-on straight man and is a really good woman. Sam plays these really really really ex-jock kind of frat dumb guys. Zack does great straight man stuff that ranges from some simmering anger to exploding frustration. Show less «

A sketch should be about two to three minutes, which is basically what most songs are, says Moore. They're usually done by groups. Good examples of each build and have different parts and twists in them. I guess sketch would be the comedy version of music. Show less «

I was a huge 'Weird Al' Yankovic fan, so I sent him a copy (of his comic book). A few weeks later, he sent me a note back saying, 'Loved the book! Such a warped mind at such a young age!' Then he sent me the same note again weeks later. So either I got on some list twice or he really liked the book. Show less «

I started getting a lot e-mails from UVA students saying they watched the show every week and inviting me to parties. I was 16, and I'd show up at school with an e-mail, 'UVA girls invited me to a sorority party!' I couldn't go, though. I didn't even have my learner's permit. Show less «

The first complaints we got were for a sketch about a game show called 'What's in the Bag?' where people would have to guess what was in the bag by hitting it with a hockey stick. Of course, when they hit it, you'd hear an animal sound, and then we'd reveal that it was a very endangered animal like a panda. Show less «
