Comedy is like expensive cheese. Well, it's like cheese, in general. Everybody likes what they like, and everything they don't like, they think is the worst.

If I could email my jokes to the crowd and get the same immediate response [as during stand-up], I'd do that.

A lot of comics claimed to be political comedians when George W. Bush was in office just by calling him an idiot. For me, Obama is actually more interesting comically, because not everybody can figure it out.

I'm a dad, and that's really important to me, and I realize now that I'm a dad that it's a major part of my identity.

It doesn't do any good to just be on the side of black people. The funnier comedic position is to be on the side of oppressed people in general.
