Peter's comedic goal? The Henry Moment.

But what is the Henry Moment?

Do you remember Peter's New York vlogs? One afternoon, between shooting locations, tpjvfb took the subway with Peter from lower Manhattan to Prospect Park. On the train, Peter met a precocious boy named Henry.

Henry was fresh from karate class with his friend and a nanny in tow. When he boarded the train, he walked up to Peter, said "Excuse me," and plopped down in the seat next to him.

Peter said a few polite words to Henry, and soon the two were carrying on like old friends. The two had what Hollywood types refer to as "chemistry."

The nanny sensed this, for she had no reservations about this strange bearded man chatting away to her two charges -- she probably welcomed the break. And although Henry's friend talked some, too, Henry kept interrupting, for he was the star -- much like we imagine Peter was at Henry's age (about seven or eight).

As our train rocketed beneath the city, Peter questioned Henry about his likes and dislikes, his reading habits, his friends and his classes at school. The whole subway car listened, rapt.

At one point, Henry claimed he had read a 20,000-page book. Peter called Henry out on his fib, and the boy went silent. Henry was amazed: Peter, it seemed, could read his mind. Everybody, even a couple of roughnecks who sat across from us -- stone-faced behind dark glasses -- started laughing.

Since then, Peter has been on a continual search for the elusive comedy he was a part of that day, his Henry Moment.

These are just some of the reasons why Peter is a Peter is a Peter is a Peter.
