So many people aren't ready for Hollywood - professionally or practically.

A farce, or slapstick humor, does well universally.

Sure, the comedians who swear or use scatological humor can get laughs, but they're uncomfortable laughs.

Hollywood has lost touch with their audience a long time ago.

It was the last generation of writers [ the Cheers] that had grown up reading books instead of watching TV. So you weren't getting anything that was derivative of I Love Lucy or Happy Days. You were getting real characters [like those] they read in P.G. Wodehouse or Dickens or somewhere along the line, because they had all grown up with a love of literature.

I have been raising money for the past 14 years for diabetes research.

Maybe, I got a sense when [Star Wars] came out, and there were always these lines around the block. We didn't understand the popularity of Cheers until maybe five years into the series.
