Everything we do really is just a little marker on the long road to death. And sometimes thatโs overwhelmingly depressing to me, and sometimes it makes me feel kinship and forgiveness. Weโve all got the same ending to the story. The way we make that story more elaborate, I got to respect.

Because even the humor - the great stuff that Samantha Bee and John Oliver and Seth Meyers are doing - it's all anger humor. And for somebody to say, "Hey, we're all idiots," and just be able to laugh at ourselves and be able to connect through that. It's always about connecting with someone, never about scolding them. The only thing I knew right upfront is we're not going after [Donald] Trump supporters.
