Paul is definitely exceptionally adept at this sort of thing, its amazing.  The only other person that seems to have a bottomless well of improvisational creativity would have to be Robin Williams, anyone who has ever watched 'Inside the Actor's Studio' when he was a guest will see what I mean.
 
Paul incredible gift is one I am very envious of, I too wish I could just speak off the top of my head and not care what I'm saying or what I'm talking about and be able to pull this stuff out of the deeper recesses of the mind the way Paul does.  it's amazing.

That's a fascinating line of inquiry, Dean.

Paul's flourishing expositions seem brilliantly pulled from a place other than himself. On the recent HIGNFY episode with Russell Brand, I was in tears of laughter when Paul offered to hold the camera's attention with an extemporaneous story about buying a sweater while Russell peed in a bottle on stage. Talk about the best of both worlds. I certainly find it more easy to talk about my own experiences with school and family than to make up, on the spot, a story that probably never happened, but Paul riffs effortlessly while simultaneously keeping the game's restrictions in mind. I think we hear him do it so often that we forget that for most people, such a thing would be very difficult.
