Summary

Adam Pally watched his dad put his own show business ambitions aside while he personally washed out of a high school band and quit the basketball team. So Adam was used to the idea of things not going the way they were planned. But it was when he joined the school AV club that he found his comedy voice and got in on the early wave of the UCB in New York. Adam tells Marc how taking acting classes prepared him to be comfortable with embarrassment, which helped on shows like Happy Endings. He also explains what he learned from working with Mindy Kaling on The Mindy Project, what he loves about his new show Indebted, and how the sudden loss of his mom still hangs over everything he does.

0:37.1	And I'm in Portland, Maine at the state theater tonight Thursday. I know it's a good show. I've
0:43.6	been doing like an hour 45. I've been doing the special plus a bunch. I'll be in Providence,
0:50.6	Rhode Island tomorrow on Friday at the Columbus Theater, but I think that's sold out. New Haven
0:55.3	has been tricky. I'm at the College Street Music Hall on Saturday. And I guess I'm eating pizza

1:45.2	our hearts. Make the right decision. So look, you guys, some things have happened. And don't
1:56.6	freak out. I'm okay. But some things have happened. I got a grill. I'd been talking about getting a grill.
2:05.6	I didn't know which grill to get. And I got some input about a lot of different things.
