Huge fan, love your work on both versions of Whose Line! Here are a few questions:

  1. Any really memorable moments during tapings that you all realized was never going to be able to make it to air (due to vulgarity, epic failure, or anything of the like)?

  2. Towards the end of the US run of Whose Line, the show started doing things like involving more special guests and getting audience members to do more things (like the Sound Effects game). Was it fun trying to work with this unexpected factor, or did you guys find it more of a hindrance?

  3. Do you ever perform any long-form improv? Any thoughts of it vs. the kind of things you did on Whose Line?

You are part of one of the most successful "incoming classes" on SNL of all time, with yourself, Samberg, Wiig, and Sudeikis all starting in the same year and all of you going on to have fantastic careers on and off SNL. What was it like coming in with these guys? Do you guys think of yourself as a "class"? Was the chemistry and energy apparent right off the bat, or did it take time to develop? Do you guys have any fun bonding moments or memories that you guys like to reminisce about?

I don't think they can afford that: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/07/31

After watching the first two seasons of PATV, there is only one conclusion I got out of it: Robert Khoo is fucking awesome.

Maybe a weird question, but how do you balance both trying to run the serious business side of PA and taking part in the more inflammatory aspect of PA? You obviously have had a lot of flames to put out that Mike and Jerry have started over the years, but do you ever find yourself agreeing with them even as you are actively trying to put out fires? Is your life a constant struggle?

And in the words of Ocean Marketting/Stratagy, "Love Penny Arcade!!"

EDIT: One more question! If you don't mind, what is your ethnicity? One comic implied that you are at least partially Japanese (mentioning you had uncles who were kamikaze), but Khoo doesn't strike me as a particularly Japanese surname.

One thing I've always wondered: what exactly happens after final tribal council when Jeff walks away with the votes? Is there just like an awkward "sooo....are we done now?" moment? Or is there like a "Cut! And that's a wrap!" moment? Does production come in and usher everyone to the exit? Are you given any instruction/debriefing on what to do next? What's it like when the final 3 join everyone else at Ponderosa? Do you guys see or talk to Jeff again at all before you leave for home? And then what happens when you get back to the US, do you just go your separate ways at the airport?
