Rick Shapiro is a top comedian.

I believe I am doing the work for humanity. This show is so uplifting.

I'm about being funny. If I can make a joke using profanity, I will. But for the most part, that can get awfully old and boring.

This country (United States) has too many freedoms.

I've always thought that a name says a lot about a person. So naturally, being named Howard, I always wanted to crawl into a hole.

I've always been about honesty, whether on the radio, whether I did a movie, whether I wrote a book. As long as you're honest, you don't lose your edge.
