Veterans' issues are quite close to my heart. I find it quite hard to talk about, actually.
From John Oliver
A Southern accent is not a club in my bag.
It really helps a comedian to be an outsider.
Americans just don't understand dry wit.
Campaign ads are the backbone of American democracy if American democracy suffered a gigantic spinal injury.
Australia turns out to be a sensational place, albeit one of the most comfortably racist places I've ever been in. They've really settled into their intolerance like an old resentful slipper.
I would much rather America was a more stable, wonderful place. You know, I love it.
People really have come for a dialogue when they go to a stand-up show in the U.K. They say, 'I understand that you have now finished your little comedy monologue; now I have something to say regarding what I've just heard.
Most stand-ups, once they have done it, think of it as their default job. I'm pretty sure Jon Stewart still feels that way now. You are a stand-up first; other things come and go.
I really love stand-up. I'm more than happy to do it for nothing. I've come to America to do it for nothing. It's the American Dream: Work for free.
