Humor requires perspective. Perspective requires focus. Focus requires balance. Balance requires attention to the present moment. In the 'now' one is freed from labels. Success and failure, good luck and bad—they're all constructs of your mind.

Particularly with live TV, I have a really good time reacting in the moment to things that are going on around me. I try to think of the viewers' perspective too.

I'm not a big raised stage fan.

I'm responsible for what I am and what I want to be. I'm not trying to live by another's standards.

I don't mind talking about my two daughters, but I don't feel comfortable denying them their privacy.

People see me on TV and I'm this calm, level headed guy. Honestly, that's the furthest thing from who I am. For a long time I struggled with anger and stress. It was killing me, figuratively and literally.

When a contestant actually loses consciousness, I think that's a good sign.
