33 分钟Reggie Watts has no plan when he walks out on the TED stage — he just lets go and tries to make himself laugh. In this episode, he shares with Chris why the audience member you should pay the most attention to is yourself and how you can find more ways to improvise, laugh and find ridiculousness in your everyday life to get to a happier one.
Ted audio collective, you're listening to how to be a better human.
I'm your host, Chris Duffy.
Today we are talking about improvisation, creativity, and living in the moment.
In some ways, that can be a very scary and tough skill to learn, but in other ways, it's what we do all day long, whether we like it or not.

Well, that's not exactly true, because for me, I am literally reading off a script right now.
But you probably don't have a script.
I'm imagining that as a podcast listener.
That is an unscripted interaction.
And you know what?
I'm gonna go off script myself, too.
Ding dong, woo woo woo.
Ay ay ay, ha ha ha.
Bing bing bing bing bing bing bing.
You know, the irony is I actually did write all of those noises into the script.
So even when I said I was going off script, I was still just staying on script.
But you get the idea, you understand?
And today's guest is someone who actually does go off script.
He doesn't just fake it by putting unscripted noises into the script.
Reggie Watts is a comedian and a musician, and there's no one else quite like him.
