Michael is often mistaken for a cast member from The Kids in the Hall.
(edit)
The first music concert Michael attended was a Three Dog Night at the Garden State Arts Center when he was about six or seven.
(edit)
Michael claims to be an excellent Scrabble player because he is constantly doing anagrams in his head.
(edit)
Michael has says he rarely fights with the other two "Stellas" but they can be passive aggressive.
(edit)
Michael has said that he doesn't wear shorts as short as the ones he wore in Wet Hot American Summer.
(edit)
Michael (on making Stella short films): They're all kind of equally boring to make, but I liked making the one in the woods with Paul Rudd because I got to use my son in it. He was six months old and had a bad cold, but that didn't stop from us stripping him naked and holding him upside down in forty degree weather. I'm an awesome dad.
(edit)
Michael: I am a poker player, but I am not a good poker player. My favorite game is seven card stud, but I'll play hi/lo, Hold 'em, Razz, etc.
(edit)
Michael Ian Black: Those VH1 shows are fun, but they can get tedious. There’s only so much I can say about Strawberry Shortcake. After those shows, everybody started calling and asking if I wanted to be a talking head. The VH1 shows have been good in terms of visibility, and they do a good job with them and, well, I’m just so f*** hilarious on them. But I didn’t want to be that guy.
(edit)
Michael (on Billy Crystal): I have complicated and conflicted feelings about Bill. But we have a long history. We came up together in the seventies. In fact, when we were starting out at the Comedy Store in L.A., Billy, me and Robin Williams used to all room together. Billy was a terrible snorer, as you probably know, and he had a habit of giving unwanted hand jobs.
