After receiving over 2500 emails regarding his first installment of Taylor Fun Facts, Taylor has decided to reward his fans with another edition…Enjoy!
The first CD Taylor ever purchased for himself was Smash Mouth’s “Astro Lounge” in 8th grade. It was a tossup between that and Weird Al’s “Running with Scissors”, but after much deliberation, he decided that “The Saga Begins” was not as strong of a single as “All Star”. On a related note, when Taylor was in El Paso, he saw that Smash Mouth was going to be headlining their local radio station’s big summer show! Taylor hopes his career does not end up like Smash Mouth’s.
Taylor does not eat red meat. He would be a total vegetarian, if only veggie burgers had chicken in them.
Even though he is one of the youngest people to ever become a regular at the Hollywood Improv and perform at the Montreal Comedy Festival, he hates when people bring up such facts as he does not like to brag about them. Please also don’t bring up that he is one of the youngest feature acts working today, it is just unnecessary.
Taylor prefers taking showers over taking baths; however, he prefers to use a tub rather than a standard shower, as he likes to have options.
Taylor once wrote a really bad joke about sneezing around atheists when he was seventeen-years-old. Realizing it was a really bad/lame/unoriginal joke, he retired it when he was eighteen-years-old. Dane Cook does a very similar joke in his new HBO special. (For full disclosure purposes, Taylor owns Mr. cook’s first CD/DVD and wishes him nothing but the best.)
Taylor gets hit on most often by women over 40, and gay comedians.
Just because you are Myspace friends with Taylor and may have spoken to him once when you went to high school together, this does not mean that he wants to hang out with you when you are in Los Angeles….especially if your profile includes pictures of yourself without a shirt on! (unless you are not a male.)
Taylor really enjoys hanging out with people who don’t understand sarcasm.
Taylor’s family believes he’s actually going to graduate from college. (If anyone in his family is reading this, please remember that he is a comedian and is telling a joke. He is very dedicated towards his academic career and sees that as a priority over his ridiculous and unlikely future in comedy. He does not need to be reminded that even though things are going well for him now, and could continue that way for a while, he may one day stop enjoying comedy and want to get a job where he has the pleasure of waking up early five days a week and having his very own desk.)
Taylor’s crazy Israeli neighbor yells at his young daughter a lot. He even yells at her while he is saying nice things. This confuses Taylor very much, as it must also the child. No matter what, Taylor wishes the young girl nothing but the best in her future career as a stripper.
Taylor’s outlook on life was dramatically altered after watching a marathon of FOX TV’s “When Chefs Attack” series. Since that day, If a waiter gets his order wrong, he smiles and says “Thank you very much.”
