In relative youth, we assume we'll remember everything. Someone should urge the young to think otherwise.

I have yet to see one of those Comedy Central shows with multiple standup comics that doesn't include someone the size of the Hindenburg.

Statistically, I'd say comedy writers are perhaps the sanest category of show people. And why not? They make big money, and although it's not an easy trade - particularly when you're at your galley oar five days a week - it's easier on the nerves and the psyche than living with the brain-squeezing pressure and cares of being the Star.

It's a tribute to the human brain that anyone is able to function out there on television in a talk situation that is entirely artificial.

I don't think anyone ever gets over the surprise of how differently one audience's reaction is from another.

I've actually gotten so I don't associate television with entertainment very much.

Great humorists are great insulters.
