football heart player
Someone on Twitter sent me a page from a textbook. It had a picture of a football player next to a picture of me. The juxtaposition was meant to illustrate two meanings of "offensive." Seriously. It broke my heart. It's that accepted what I do is offensive?
growing-up children taken
Growing up, I always loved Disney movies, but the first movie I remember seeing is 'Sleepers,' so I wasn't really taken to children's movies.
careers together kind
Earlier in my career, I was really tight, really together, and knew who I was and I was confident. I kind of feel in between now.
night comedy saturday
By the time I would have graduated, at 22, I was a writer and featured performer on Saturday Night Live.
teenage character thinking
I like trying jokes and seeing the response, and if I end up doing it in my act, it won't be 140 characters. Twitter is helpful that way to me. It's like a message in a bottle. But a lot of times I think I tweet the stuff I would like to say to teenage me.
funny humor thinking
But I think you can make fun of anything as long as it's funny enough.
uncles fun parent
They've got great parents; I'm just trying to be the fun uncle.
men squash want
Men like to squash you. I just want someone who's happy with himself, happy with his life. He doesn't have to squash mine.
I like my life alone.
funny humor holocaust
I have a ton of Holocaust stuff, and some of it is really hard core.
people too-much facts
Some people say my humor focuses too much on stereotypes. It doesn't. It focuses on facts.
ideas ritual
I do love the idea of ritual.
care fats jokes
I don't really care for, like, fat jokes about women, specifically.
