You never know when you'll have a bad idea for a worse joke.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm really bad at writing jokes.
In order to be able to write a good joke, you have to find the truth.
You never know when your ideas are going to come back to you.
Sometimes an actor will stumble on the joke, and I'm right on them. Back it up before the audience hears the bad version of the joke, because humor is 90% surprise. If they know what's coming, they won't laugh as hard.
When you've been doing comedy for forty years, you really do know most of the jokes. And even if you don't know a specific joke, you can pretty much guess what it's going to be.
Anything where we're the butt of the joke, no one tells us about it.
Only one in four jokes ever works, and I still can't predict what people will laugh at.
I don't mind being the brunt of a joke, so long as it's a good one.
I never told a joke in my life.
I've never really told jokes. I'm not good at it.
