comedy wanted
By the time I was 7 or 8, I wanted to be a comedy writer.
kids giving wife
Does having a wife and kids change your act? Yes, but only in the best way. It gives you weight and authority. It also makes you closer to the audience because the audience is married and has kids.
should-have osama-bin-laden empty
The Democrats should have an empty chair on stage for the entire DNC, and when anyone asks who it belongs to, they can say Osama bin Laden.
money people guy
We got no wealthy black people. We got rich people. Shaq is rich. The guy who signs his checks is wealthy.
funny mother lines
My mother is the kind of woman you don't want to be in line behind at the supermarket. She has coupons for coupons.
levels comedy mediums
Stand-up comedy is like the lowest medium in all of show business in levels of respect.
sky white black
When you're white, the sky's the limit. When you're black, the limit's the sky.
party tuesday want
They don't want you to vote. If they did, we wouldn't vote on a Tuesday. In November. You ever throw a party on a Tuesday? No. Because nobody would come.
yoga people mind
Why do people do yoga? To clear their minds? I embrace the clutter in my head.
smart knowing people
Smart is knowing if you're dumb. Knowing when to shut up and to listen to people that are smarter than you.
hurt jobs pain
For me, anything goes when I pick up a mike. I'm not trying to hurt people - I try not to get too personal but I look at myself as a reporter. If you can report on anything that has to do with pop culture, then why can't I make jokes about it? Yes, it hurts. But I figure that laughter sometimes starts from pain. You might wince, but then I know that I'm doing my job. The only thing I can do wrong is not be funny.
funny humor gun
Gun control? We need bullet control! I think every bullet should cost 5,000 dollars. Because if a bullet cost five thousand dollar, we wouldn't have any innocent bystanders.
funny-marriage people married
Only married people understand you can be miserable and happy at the same time.
thinking comedian crowds
I think anybody in front of a crowd is a comedian.
