I don't know why men are so fascinated with television and I think it has something to do with - if I may judge from my own father, who used to sit and stare at the TV while my mother was speaking to him - I think that's a man's way of tuning out.

Without comedy as a defense mechanism I wouldn't be able to survive.

I'm not a party guy. I don't carouse very much.

The comic strip is what I looked at, and it's another reason I did it. The comic strip, where animals would comment on human behaviour, interested me.

I'm very loyal in relationships. Even when I go out with my mom I don't look at other moms.

Carol Burnett was particularly funny. She swore for the first time on television on Larry Sanders.

But I really like hosting, I think it's a strength of mine. It allows me to improvise, and I love the spontaneity of that, and I think I'm funny behind the desk when interviewing someone.
