I Love Polarizing People.

In Real Life, Josh [gad] Is A Different Kind Of Lovable Idiot. In Real Life, He's A Much Filthier Idiot. He Has A Dirty Sense Of Humor.

Josh [gad] Is Such An Amazing Improviser And Is So Good When The Material Is Flowing From Him That Sometimes, If A Written Scene Isn't Working Quite Right, I'll Tell Him That We've Got It And That He Can Just Play. He'll Blow Us Away With Some Super Weird Stuff And Some Wild Things That We Might Use Bits And Pieces Of In The Edit, And Then I'll Say, "just For Good Measure, Let's Do One More Of The Scripted Version."

Josh Gad And I Have Been Friends Since The Time He Auditioned For Modern Family. I Directed The Pilot For That, And That's How We Met.

I Was Trained As A Straight Dramatist.

I Was A Product Of A Divorced Family And I Used Humor As A Weapon To Combat Sadness. I Used Comedy To Make My Mother Laugh In Light Of The Darkness That She Faced, And To Me It Became A Very Powerful Tool At A Very Young Age, At Six. I Saw How Therapeutic It Could Be.
