It's weird how you can make people feel comfortable, and then ask them an uncomfortable question, but it doesn't ruin their day.

If it wasn't for what goes on in the world of politics, we wouldn't really have much of a show.

The people I really feel sorry for are all the writers out there who wrote these outrageous comedic romps about a grossly unqualified person who goes on to become a Vice Presidential candidate in a hotly contested presidential race. With hilarious results. They must be so bummed.

You don't want to be glib; you want to treat every story respectfully.

I don't think the show would be funny to you if you didn't already have a base of information.

We definitely sometimes get stuff that's different that we were expecting. I mean, that's part of the joy and the terror of interviewing real, live people. Sometimes they come along the journey with you, and most of the time they don't.

It's great when you have people who will speak passionately and honestly about what they are doing.
