I never wanted to do observational humor because I never wanted to tell people what they were seeing.

I remember laughing an inordinate amount of time. Setting up scenes that involve ooze coming out basements, or pigs' heads flying through windows is really fun. How could you not laugh?

I always like to watch comics and it's interesting that you can tell if someone's funny in 10 seconds.

As a small child, I could watch anything happen and tell a story, and it was funny.

When we first started, everything was animated, everything was comedy, and there was really nothing that was longer than about two minutes, because that's all audiences would watch.

I used to sneak up to the 8th floor and watch Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo rehearsing 'Saturday Night Live' and could only wonder if I would ever have the chance to be funny. It took me five years to go up the two stories, but it is such a sense of fulfillment to be able to show what I can do on national television.

I would have liked it to have stayed serious and have the adventures of a family lost in space. This isn't to take anything away from Jonathan and the Robot. I watch his performance today and he still makes me laugh.

I prefer to have one gigantic laugh preceded by several smaller laughs rather than a bunch of medium laughs all along.

I think that will be a lot of fun for audiences to get the same stream of consciousness that was going through my head at the time. It was very exciting to suddenly recall what I was feeling at the time.

My whole life I try to make into a comedy, so it would be nice to see that onscreen.
