When David Koechner was a “Saturday Night Life” cast member, he never “made the choice” to crack up.

Instead, the comedic actor from NBC’s, “The Office” and the film “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” was all about keeping it professional. The normal, zany comedian interview questions don’t work on Koechner; he wants to talk more about his craft than his guilty pleasures or what sexy male lead would play him if Hollywood made a movie about his life.

He’s one of those celebrities who you feel like you already know. Immortalized on film in action-packed scenes with Arnold Schwarzenegger in “True Lies” and on Fox Sports Net’s, “The Best Darn Sports Show,” there’s not much we haven’t seen or heard of Tom Arnold. That goes for both his professional and personal life, like his struggles with weight (that he points out with self-deprecating humor) and four marriages, including a volatile relationship with sitcom star Roseanne.
