Quote

As a comedian, I'm always quoting 'Caddyshack' and 'Dumb and Dumber.'

Well, a lot of politics is communicating with people, and obviously comedy has something to do with that. I've been a producer and led people. Also, being a comedian, you're under pressure.

Part of being a comedian is that it's your job to look at life and regurgitate it in a funny way, to point out its absurdities.

Comedy's about opening up and being unique, but to a point where the audience can relate to what you're saying.

I think I would say 'The King's Speech' is surprisingly funny, in fact the audiences in London, Toronto, LA, New York commented there's more laughter in this film than in most comedies, while it is also a moving tear-jerker with an uplifting ending.

You have to be careful what you say in front of comedy writers because they will absolutely make fun of it in the next episode.

The comedian can put the punchline out there, but it's the audience that receives it - and has to get it.

That's what I hate about a lot of comedies, when you're hitting a line or making it funny.

Comedy is similar to hockey... in only one way. You get a lot of credit for assists. So I try to serve whatever the intention is, be it the joke or the story or the scene or the moment or the kiss, even if it's not my joke or moment.

People, when they talk or write about comedy, they don't really get it.
