He also gave tips to those aiming for success in comedy, stressing the need to stay within society's rules to avoid being blacklisted.

He has also assembled a cast of A-List actors to appear in the film. Movie stars such as Melissa McCarthy, Hugh Grant, Max Greenfield, Bill Burr, Christian Slater, Daniel Levy, and Fred Armisen are set to appear in the film, which is slated for release in May on Netflix.
