If the crowd is full of assholes, it's no fun. If the crowd is cool, it's great.

Before The Simpsons, I was 4 years old, so I don't know exactly what I was thinking before that.

You see a lot of sketch variety shows where each segment is one joke that they repeat over and over and over again, and the sketches are always three or four minutes too long.

There's two sides to the coin. I think I'm much happier that [Barack] Obama won over John McCain or Mitt Romney, because I think Obama did something culturally for the country.

I care a lot; I'm very sensitive.

Wonder Showzen was one of the first shows that realized each sketch, each segment is essentially one joke, and, once you know what the joke is, it's time to move on.

Comedy is often about pain.
