I always tend to think of all of my shows as possibly my last show. I'm like a junior Springsteen, without the underbite.

My Obama is getting pretty good ... I think I'll vote for whoever makes my portrayal easier. It takes time to put together a comic impression. It takes time to recognize the tics.

While many comics have a secret persona, I fundamentally want to be myself.

Please, O ye Lord, keep Jim Bakker behind bars.

After years of begging, I got my parents to get me a little Craig tape recorder, a reel to reel. Then I started recording voices, or recording Jonathan Winters off television and stuff like that.
