- Scott Adsit performed on the mainstage of Chicago's Second City, between 1994 and 1998, and, alongside Saturday Night Live (1975)'s Rachel Dratch and Tina Fey, was one of the driving forces behind such groundbreaking revues as "Pinata Full of Bees" and "Paradigm Lost". An in-depth look at his craft is available in the PBS documentary, Second to None (2001). A 1995 sketch he performed with former SNL head writer, Adam McKay, "Gump", was included as one of Second City's all-time best on the CD's which come with the book "Second City" by Sheldon Patinkin. Scott has proudly described the mission of comedy as "changing the world with our funny skits and songs".

- He was nominated for a 1996 Joseph Jefferson Award for Actor in a Revue for "Citizen Gates", at the Second City Theatre in Chicago, Illinois.
- I was doing a show in L.A. called 'Celebrity Autobiography,' where celebrities read excerpts from other celebrities' books and hang themselves with their own rope.
- I went to film school at Columbia and did that for a couple years, and really thought I was going to be a filmmaker, and then I kind of drifted over to the acting side after that.
- It's hard to tell what is even mainstream anymore because there's so many platforms now. And they're all topics of conversation.
- I'm afraid of my mother's paranoia. The more she watches Fox News, the more afraid she gets.
- I see my share of loons. I just performed with someone who had a meltdown on stage. He needed focus, and he was 'stealing it' and just being crazy and selfish and childish and having a great time doing it - to the detriment of everybody else.
