Rick Shapiro is a top comedian.

When you hire me, you hire a nut who is going to work 24 hours a day for you and never, ever burn his audience.

Okay, well, I guess I'm still a kid. Because when I get really angry and fired up and I feel like my back is up against the wall, I will say vicious things.

I seem to be some sort of lightning rod. I just really irritate people, you know? I really do.

Late night television is ready for someone like me... standards have gone to an all-time low.

I'm sure some people might be offended by that, but this is my feeling about show business. It's not all about pure talent. There are certain people who command a stage because they look good ,like me.

We are busy planning the launch of the channel. I am busy planning all kinds of events that go on the channel without me. I have started producing a sound for the channel.
