I want to get back and figure out how we're going to make 'The Tonight Show' funny and good.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most of the stuff I do on the show comes out of me just trying to make my friends laugh.
I am a great believer that what makes our show different is the humor.
I love being in these ensemble comedy movies. I love working with a bunch of people and coming up with, you know, How can we make this moment funnier?
I think this show I'm going to do,' Awake,' if it's done well, will not only be provocative and entertaining, but help people. I want to do that.
I don't think I could ever do a network sitcom because the humor is often based on some trite circumstance. I don't want to be a part of a show where it's mostly about coming up with the jokes.
I would like to get back to making people laugh. Before drama school, I did nothing but comedy.
I love the idea that we put in jokes the kids don't get. And that later, when they grow up and read a few books and go to college and watch the show again, they can get it on a completely different level.
Our shows today are better and funnier than they've ever been.
My goal is for 'The Bill Engvall Show' to be a show the networks look at and say, 'Ooh, maybe we should get back to the family sitcom.'
The next step for me is not 'The Tonight Show.' That's a job for Jimmy Fallon. I'm way too divisive for a show like that.
