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

I've turned down projects based on raunchiness before.

I come from Bridgeport, Connecticut and have friends I grew up with there.

You've got to write for your audience.

When I go to the garage to pick up my clubs, I clean the spider webs off.

I don't want to go back to sitcoms - I'm a middle-aged, white guy - the high school principal who's a buffoon. It's hard enough raising kids now a days, and I don't want to be a part of a show that I'll be embarrassed watching shows like that with my kids and my mother. A lot of shows feel they need to get that for humor. You've have to have had a life experience; otherwise, it's toilet humor. If you've had a job before or experienced something, you get it. Some of these people haven't and they look for the cheap laugh.

A farce, or slapstick humor, does well universally.
