I like when the ice gets thin, the going gets rough, the guests get edgy.

I think we live in an age of increasing mediocrity.

I get a kick out of people saying I was funny.

I'll be happy if I can just stay out of Nebraska.

As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it.

A biggest mistake I made when I started doing a talk show was I thought you had to read the books.

I'm the only talk show host, I think, if there's such a category in, what's called, the book of records, to have a guest die while we were taping the show, yeah.
