Fox succeeds because it's entertaining. It's like a rightwing freak show.

I started as a stand-up comedian. I wanted to be Carol Burnett when I was growing up.

Rush Limbaugh, whether you hate him or not, he's a great entertainer; he's a great broadcaster.

I didn't start talk radio until '95 in L.A. The show was very successful, and they actually tried to syndicate it nationally, but I couldn't get stations. It was like, "We don't care that she's funny and she's got great ratings. She's liberal!"

I don't know how many times a phone call or e-mail starts with, "I don't agree with anything you say but you're funny as hell so I listen to your show, I love your show."

You don't have to think exactly like me.

You don't have to think exactly like me. When people go, "I don't agree with everything you say," you know what, if you agree with everything anyone says, you're an idiot.
