The date on his paycheck in the first ep was 2002.
Cameron Esposito?
Also Reggie Watts.
I just started listing this year, and I started with 301. I laughed—so hard. I also laughed pretty hard at 310 (Little Button Puss).
Scott talks about that very phenomenon on his WTF interview (from 2010, I think): he's a regular-weight, not-that-distinctive white guy, so his stand-up didn't have an obvious hook, and it took audiences a while to find an entry point into his comedy.

Comic Sans? Fuck that shit. TIMES! NEW! ROMAN!
Well put. And as 10cities10years said above, he has great presence. He just seems in control when he's on TDS—and not in an uptight, comedy-deflating way, just that he's always doing exactly what he intended to do.
