Every time I've done comedy in, like, traditional comedy clubs, there's always these comedians that do really well with audiences but that the other comedians hate because they're just, you know, doing kind of cheap stuff like dancing around or doing, like, very kind of base sex humor a lot, and stuff like that. ↗

I love mixing with comedians when I'm working with them, but when I'm not I don't feel the need to hang around with them. ↗

If I've inadvertently become some sort of role model for failed comedians, then it's really backfired very badly on me. ↗

Politics is pop. Our job as comedians - especially me, as a late-night talk show, which is a broader audience - is to amplify what we think America is thinking. ↗

You shouldn't listen to us at all if you're looking for information. We don't take ourselves seriously on any level; we're just comedians. ↗
