Are you adding any political material for this D.C. show?
No, I feel too ignorant. I’ll probably stick to what I know, which is my sex life. I have pretty strong opinions about that.
Do you pre-screen potential boyfriends to see if they’re good comedy material?
I do, in the hope that they’re not. If they are, they’re probably pretty bad boyfriends. But that’s what they sign up for.
You used to baby-sit for Judd Apatow’s kids in L.A.
I nannied for a couple of months. The kids were super-funny; it made me wish I grew up in a comedy household. But nannying is demoralizing. I’m just not cut out for it.
Was that your least-favorite job?
Temping is the worst. I would rather starve and be homeless than nanny or temp again.
Looking back, would you have done “Last Comic Standing”
differently?
I was just thinking about that this morning. Maybe I’d tone down my material more. I’m sure they looked at my act and went: “If this is what she’s bringing out of the gate, it’s only gonna get worse from here.” Which wasn’t the case, but when I’m put in a position to make people nervous, I tend to do that.

So, you don’t wish you’d pulled a Tonya Harding on one of the contestants?
Someone told me I looked like a young Tonya Harding recently, as if “young” would soften the blow. But I do wish I’d talked to [recently deceased comedian and “LCS" judge] Greg Giraldo more, because he’s very missed.
