I actually have to pick and chose stuff that I know I'm going to bomb at.
I also love Mole, the unsung hero of reality programming.
If you see me on Friday, you'll see different material on Saturday night.
I am in love with Larry David.
I'm saying that she (Whitney Houston) looks great for a singer......the way Courtney Love is a singer.
Pretty much everywhere I go, I'm pretty much thinking I'm going to be bounced. I am still the outsider who snuck into the party. I identify with the regular person, because that is who I am.
Remember, folks, I am a comedian, not a journalist.
It was sweaty Whitney (Houston) in Central Park. She knew that park pretty well. Every bush!
I'm also doing a special for Comedy Central called Autobiography. It's going to be a spoof of Biography.
To give up my job as a temp and actually make a living doing comedy, it was staggering.
Well, the coffeehouse audiences never know what they're going to get, and all the comics are different, as opposed to when you go to a club, and they're pretty much all telling jokes with set-ups and punchlines. Coffeehouse audiences are the most forgiving: They really listen, which is the best part.
I identify with the regular person, because that is who I am.
It is a challenge, with the global fame, to try to act like I put my pants on one leg at a time, when in fact I have Pippa Middleton help me put my pants on every morning. She's my lady-in-waiting as well.
When I'm going to see a comedian, I don't want to see them hold back, and when I'm reading a book, I don't want to hear an abridged version.
