My father, the practical joker, did not care for practical jokes on himself; he did not encourage the practice in me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never really was much of a practical jokester or anything.
My father is sort of the jokester. My dad is still the funniest guy in our family.
My capacity for humour may have come largely from my father - he liked to entertain people, make people laugh.
My dad doesn't get any of my jokes. He laughs at them, but he doesn't understand them. He's just laughing because people around him are laughing.
My father was the kind of guy who'd always say 'Throw out any subject and I got a joke on it.'
My dad's one of the funniest men in the world. I grew up with him making me laugh so much I'd beg him to stop.
Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?
If my mother hadn't laughed at the funny things I did, I probably wouldn't be a comic actor. After she had her first heart attack, the doctor said, 'Try to make her laugh.' And that was the first time I tried to make anyone laugh.
My dad never took himself too seriously. He always treated everyone with respect, and he made sure I was like that, too. I show up, I hit my mark, and I say my lines.
I'm terrible at practical jokes. I do them too well, so they're not funny. I end up saying, 'Oh, no, I'm joking, I'm joking.'
