People want other people to know that they share our sensibility even if they're not exactly sure what that sensibility is.

I didn't hang any pictures in my office for a year because I thought that I would be jinxing myself and have to take them down the next day.

The first year or so on The Daily Show is pretty intense in terms of travel. You're going to the worst places in the country, talking to the craziest people in the world.

My mother was very, very Protestant. I grew up Presbyterian, and I went to church every Sunday until I was 18. I was forced to.

I've always wanted to be an actor. I didn't get into this game to be the best improviser in the world. I didn't choose improv as a stepping stone, it just happened to become one.

Apparently it's cool to watch The Daily Show.

For most of my life, I was a worrier and an over-thinker. I had pretty bad social anxiety.
