Hi Nick, big fan of The League (saw the live tour in AC a couple years ago), and really enjoy Kroll Show. Thanks for doing this

1) Which of the main cast of The League is most like their character? How about the least like?

2) Will you be doing another comedy special any time soon?

3) What's your all-time favorite character you've created?

4) How did your real-life fantasy football team do this year?

5) Nadine Velazquez is absolutely gorgeous... how hard is it (no pun intended) to stay professional when fake mixing it up with your on-screen wife?

I had no idea you were in your mid-50s! How come black doesn't crack?

voluntary national service program, tuition-free higher education -- much of the kind of universal benefits that my dad's Greatest Generation got with the G.I. Bill of Rights.

These still exist and are readily available - the Army just missed their recruiting goals

Wait what? How is cutting the work week by over 60% remotely feasible?

Though it isn't touched on in your article, the media has raised questions about the racial makeup of police departments - for example, despite Ferguson ' s population being primarily black, there are less than a handful of black police officers (3 if I remember correctly). The same can be said for many communities across America, where minorities are actually the majority but are policed by white officers. Do you feel that the racial makeup of police departments compared to their community is a factor in the disparities you write about?

Many have called for police departments to hire officers to better reflect, and relate to, the community they serve. And that requirements like police aptitude tests, civil service tests, education level, criminal background, etc. should be more accommodating, which includes lowering standards in hiring applicants. Do you feel that police hiring practices, as it pertains to racial makeup, need to be changed in order to alleviate perceived police bias?
