Spike Feresten currently hosts his own late-night talk show, Talk Show with Spike Feresten, on FOX. Years ago, the 44-year-old funny man was also on the writing staff for Saturday Night Live, The Late Show With David Letterman and the hugely successful sitcom Seinfeld (he wrote episodes “The Muffin Tops” and “Soup Nazi”). Check out what Spike had to say about taking his act to late night:

JJ: How are you, Spike? Where are you calling from?

SF: Great! I’m in the office here in Hollywood, editing the show, and we have a funny little video we put out this week called “Lil’ Bill O’Reilly” that no one knows is ours. It was on Gawker this morning and it’s been all over the place all of a sudden. It’s going viral as we speak. This is an exclusive for you! You can say it’s us.

JJ: What are the work hours like for your show?

SF: We go in every day. We shoot two shows a week, one show that airs two days after on Saturday nights that we shoot on Thursday. And the other show that might air in May–we call it an evergreen show.

JJ: Can you explain the second show you tape?

SF: The second show is just FOX saving money. They double up tape nights for us. In the fall, we’ll be shooting shows about what’s happening that week, the debates and anything else that’s happening. The other show is pure silliness. Since we can’t predict what’s gonna happen in the spring, we kinda just do odd comedy.
