I think it's because it's so different and it takes risks. Plus, it's really smart humor. It gives the audience credit in terms of not needing to tell them when to laugh. I love that about the show. There's no laugh track.

Even celebrities, most people have a sense of humor. Most of the people we meet who we've done on the show, like it.

Everybody's got a different sense of humor. It's just different styles.

The one thing I think I've noticed about shows that are supposed to be funny on television is that they've sort of become routinized, so there's an awful lot of mannerisms and joke lines that are sort of there to trigger laughter, rather than give actors a chance to play a moment.

It's really easy to be funny. You get a lot of funny people in a room, the show is funny.

I think we're the only jokeless show on television. I mean really, we have no setups and no punch lines. It's not a joke show. There are funny lines and funny moments but again the comedy is born of the human experience and awkward pauses are a great part of what it is to be human.

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.

But this show reminds me that there are other aspects to me besides the fact that I'm a funny chick.
