It would be ridiculous for me to say anything negative regarding blacks having an equal opportunity on TV.

Funny is an attitude.

You can't expect to hit the jackpot if you don't put a few nickels in the machine.

I was number one in the ratings four times last year and twice this season. What could be more damn equal than that? If they get any more equal, I don't want it.

Being a comedian is like being a con man. You have to make 'em like you before you can fool 'em.

Funny is not a color. Being black is only good from the time you get from the curtain to the microphone.

I think Mr. Wilson will have to be the rest of the way alone.
