Sunshine Cleaning Director Christine Jeffs Courtesy of Overture Films

What else are you working on right now?
I'm doing a lot of comedy shows right now, and then I'll go back to 24. And I'm also documenting my comedy show, making it into a movie.

A documentary of just your comedy act?
Yeah, my show. I'll be at Sundance next year with it. Won't that be cool?

Is it gonna be feature length? Have you been doing this a long time?
Yeah. This is how I started getting work in the first place, doing comedy, but I've never actually documented it, so I'm gonna do it now.

What's the process? If you have a bad set, will that make the cut?
Well, I'm working with a director and we're sort of interested in the process of it. That's why we're saying it's documentary-style, because we're talking to me in between maybe cutting away to certain people and things that I'm talking about, and we're using different shows and we're using them in intimate settings. The show is a series of like, my observations and insecurities, reasons I shouldn't be on stage, etc. That's always been the structure of my act. I talk about not wanting to be there and other things that I'm doing besides performing.

So it's a self-deprecating style of comedy.
Yeah, and I didn't want it to be like "This is my special, one night only!" and really polished, because that's not really how I work. So, I think we will get a lot of... I did my show every week for months and it was sold out for six or seven weeks, but then after a while I would have six people, I would have ten people... so it would get really interesting.

What stand-ups are you following these days?
Patton Oswalt's great, I like Zack Galifianakis a lot. I've been doing some shows with Janeane Garofalo. Dave Chappelle is great. I'm forgetting somebody that I wanted to say, I can't remember right now.

Have you developed a preference for one career path over the other, at this point?
No, it doesn't matter to me, I approach it all the same. It just seems that I'm leaning a little bit more towards comedy. It's just the way I was made.

What's going on with that 24 movie, by the way? Is it happening?
The 24 movie, you know I wish we would have made it last year. They had a draft of it and they were ready to go, but Fox, the larger corporation Fox, wanted to wait until the series was completely over before they make a movie.

Do they have an idea of when the series will wrap up?
Well, we signed for two more years so with the strike, I guess that means two more years from now.

Did you get a chance to read the script?
I didn't. I was taunted by one of my producers, who wrote it. He's like, "I have the script!" but wouldn't let me read it.

So then you can't tell us anything newsworthy.
I cannot tell you anything. [laughs]
