Quote

I used to chop up C-Span soundbites or interviews with politicians like John Kerry or Bill Clinton into a radio-esque show hosted by Awkwafina and her producer, Mookie. I would pitch down my vocals to have male guests and would send them to a small circle of friends after they were done.

I don't think I'd be a very good talk show host. I mean, I'm very talkative but I don't know if I could do that all the time.

I never thought I would become a television host, but I never thought anybody would pay me to just talk.

If you elect a matinee idol mayor, you're going to have a musical comedy administration.

I've been invited to appear on Letterman, but they wanted me to talk about a funny videotape of Congress. 'Bring us your outtakes!' That's not our job.

I'm an entertainer. I get up on stage and I try to make people enjoy my music, and that political arena - I'm going to stay out of it, right out.

My show is not just a cop hosting a talk show - the two are completely different. My show is about helping people stand up to the bad guy.

It is better for me to serve a charity as an actor or a voice, rather than at a luncheon being just a celebrity.

If we are now holding late-night talk-show hosts to the same moral accountability as we hold politicians or clergymen, I'm out. I'm gone.
