I have always said that the best training to be a TV newsman or anybody on television is to do a children's show because you are oblivious to the fact that there is a camera there.

When something's over with me, it's over.

I want to get my own show because 'Today' will eventually get tired of me, or the audience will get tired of me.

I'm not the dumbest guy that ever lived.

I get all fired up about aging in America.

Everyone complains about the weather, but nobody ever seems to do anything about it.

My dad was an agent for Met Life. In the '50s, I remember the mortality rate was something like - you had - 58 was the average age. Then it was moved up to 62, and then 65, 68.
