IamA Kevin Brown! I used to own the Uptown Comedy Club and starred as "Dotcom" on NBC's 30 Rock AMA!

whose idea was it for Dot Com to be an underappreciated intellectual?

probably some guy on the internet, I wouldn't have noticed it until someone pointed it out

Is Tina Fey hot in person?

yes

How hard was it to get a job on 30 rock ?

30 rock was actually easy because i started as an extra on the show. I didn't know who Tina fey was at the time and I didn't think women were funny so I wasn't interested in being part of the show. That's probably why I got the job. A lot of people thought Tracy Morgan put me on the show because we were long time friends, but he didn't know I was going to be on the show until we were actually shooting the pilot.

What has been the most defining moment of your career thus far?

we had just wrapped up everything with 30 rock, we finished all the parties, all the shooting, so after I went up to Lorne Michaels to thank him for providing me with this opportunity, and in the longest conversation we ever had together Lorne Michaels said to me "You're ready now". statement from an icon of his stature defined everything for me, because there is no one more influential in the comedy biz that can dispute that

or the third time i had sex with tina fey

What was the funniest thing that happened on the set of 30 Rock?

Also, how is your day going?

There was a lot of funny stuff... one time Tracy Morgan was telling a story and he had us all captivated by the details of this story. While listening my heart skipped a beat after I recognized Tracy's story reminded me of an HBO TV show, thinking HBO stole this story from Tracy. When I pointed it out, he started laughing because he actually stole the story from them. We all realized that you can never believe anything Tracy Morgan says in real life and continued laughing.

My day is going great, my interns turned out to be way smarter than i imagined.....maybe I won't fire them

What's the best joke you've ever told?

Having sex with tina fey

If you had one hour to prepare to be sent back in time to the Jurassic era (but can't bring anything with you), how would you spend your hour?

Love the question

I'd probably google bear grylls and figure out how to survive in the wild

What is one thing people don't know about when owning/managing a comedy club?

I thought i would be my own boss, come to find out the fire department is my boss, the health department is my boss, the landord, and the liquor authority.

Who is your favorite Dragon Ball Z character?

not regular goku but super saiyan goku

If I were to see you in public, Would you be offended if I said "Dotcom! May I get a hug from you?" instead of calling you Mr. Brown?

no people call me Dotcom all the time

Any hilarious backstage/not-on-camera moments on 30 Rock?

Off-Camera was just as funny as on camera, coming into work was adventure for seven years

Who was your favorite guest actor to work with on 30 Rock?

John ham, I am the hugest fan of madmen and when he walked in the room i felt an instant connection with him, like i was one of the women in the show drooling over him

Where do you think you would be now if you never made it in show business?

I would probably be doing security, a professional bodyguard like every big black dude does

How was working with Tracy?

Tracy is one of the funniest people you will ever hang around with in your lifetime, he's funnier offstage then he is onstage and he is damn funny onstage

How do you get to be an intern for you, and what is it they do?

he had a tweet about it and we contacted him. this and other intern work for his company-Billy the intern

Yooooo!

Uptown Comedy Club!!!

I used to love that show!! REAL COMEDY !!!

Straight up Bronx Tracy Morgan with the propeller cap

Rob Magnotti was the king though!

What's next for you, B?

Thank you for the AMA !

The documentary, bringing back a 2.0 version of the show, and I'm excited to help launch the next wave of talented comics

How did you start your career?

Which career? the comic? the actor? the drug dealer?

Becoming an actor in general, getting on national TV. How did you start?

i started by taking acting classes, getting head-shots, faking a resume, and submitting to all the actors websites on the internet. But i always kept in mind that there is no such thing as a small role, only small actors.

Did you ever carry Tracy Morgan around when the cameras weren't rolling?

HELL NO!

My favorite comedian is a guy named Earthquake. Google him if you don't know him

How is Alec Baldwin in real life? Is he really a jerk or does he just get a bad rap from the media? I really hope he's not the giant dick he's made out to be..

I know this might sound cliche but Alec Baldwin was always gracious to me when he didn't have to be, and i was honored to work with him and learn from him.

Hi Kevin! Thanks for doing the AMA.

Important question.

You have been sentenced to death for a crime you did not commit. What would you choose as your last meal?

well my juicing diet is definitely out the window then..

my last meal would be steamed king crab legs from The Boil (in lower Manhattan) , that question just made me hungry i might go get some today

What are your plans for the next five years? Any new, big projects on the horizon?

Yes, I've recently launched Dotcom Entertainment, and I plan on having 10 tv shows within the next 5 years, a documentary, and more, getting my Tyler Perry on! We just launched a website too and will be updating it more!

You seem to have lost a lot of weight comparing your proof photo to the show. Is that just the TV cameras adding pounds, or do you have any tips for the rest of us larger gentlefolk?

yes! TV cameras added pounds YES!! thank you for the compliment, weight is something I battle with constantly, my biggest weight loss tip is...I smoke a lot of Crack, and I'm a bulimia practitioner.

Favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movie?

ooo Terminator man you kidding me, terminator 1,2 and 5.

Describe your first day on 30 Rock in one sentence?

Also, if you had to pick one song to play whenever you walk into a room, for the rest of your life, what would it be?

before i was born there was this country song by a guy named Jimmy Dean, the one that made the sausages, it was called Big Bad John

how is Tina fey in bed? (since you were mentioning her wayy too many times) :P

I don't know how she is in real life, but in my dreams she is hilarious.

I hope I'm not too late, but any advice for an aspiring comedian who's just starting to do open mics? Thanks in advance!

if you get a job at a comedy club they tend to give you stage time, i suggest you volunteer to work at a comedy club and in Lou of money be compensated with stage time

What's your actual take on The Seagull?

I don't have a take on the Seagull, if a person asked me that in real life, I would probably say "you know that wasn't real right it was just for the show."

How much ya bench?

ask me again in 3 months

how did you screen your interns?

Very carelessly, i had someone else do it

Tell the truth, did you fire the intern who screened your interns?

hahaha. leave the jokes to me.

Did you ever think of becoming a professional wrestler?

absolutly yea... I still might if this comedy thing doesn't work out.

Bodyguard or Doorman - which is a tougher role to play?

doorman, because bodyguard assumes you can at least beat someone up. as a doorman there is some grey area

How many push ups can you do?

ask me again in three months like /u/oldfat

Will your interns be getting severance pay?

They'll be getting something, something nice

How do you feel about the best joke on the show being about old naked men?

that wasn't the best joke on the show a-hole

the best joke was when Tina Fey had me pose as her boyfriend Astronaut Mike Dexter to get her neighbor to move out and he turned out to be a hipster cop and he assaulted me my favorite line "OH LAWD"
