I think the saddest moment in my life just happened two months ago. My old nightclub partner passed away, Phil Erickson down in Atlanta. He - I owe him everything. He put me in the business and taught me about everything I know.

But once we got on the air, everybody except Morey Amsterdam pretty much stuck to the script.

I got into a Broadway show before I ever sang and danced. I learned how after I got in the show.

My favorite unknown movie is 'The Comic.'

I didn't know the answers, but I could feel that the things that gave life meaning came from a place within and from the nurturing of values like tolerance, charity, and community.

But I wish they would make a musical of some kind. I miss musicals so much. You don't see them anymore.

We used to get 27, 28 minutes to do a story in, and now they're lucky if they get 18 or 20 minutes. So I don't think they can really do a beginning, a middle, and an end anymore. There's an awful lot of one-line jokes; almost every line is a punchline. It's not the same, but there's still good comedy around.
