guy appearance shows
When I'm doing an appearance somewhere and taking questions from the audience, I can always count on: 'Tell about the guy who died on your show!'
fun
It's no fun being a specimen.
shows show-business
I'm not all that enthralled by show business, and I'm not that much of a highbrow.
father phones grades
By the time I was in the fourth grade, I sounded exactly like my father on the phone.
thinking television way
You would have to be naive to think you can appear on television and not have the material edited in some way.
brain able television
It's a tribute to the human brain that anyone is able to function out there on television in a talk situation that is entirely artificial.
gun trying president
Nobody is going to try to confiscate guns, although some Web sites know better: President Obama, they are certain, wants to.
men tough weeping
A grown man, weeping, is a tough thing to see.
moments comic reports
Every comic can report a few 'gift from the gods' moments.
voice feelings mind
I have a feeling that about 90% of my life has been shaped by my voice, both as an embarrassment and as an advantage. There was always the terrible incongruity of this deep voice barreling out of this little body. Somewhere in the back of my mind I was aware that it was ludicrous, that it took on an importance that wasn't really there.
memorable order president
A conversation does not have to be scintillating in order to be memorable. I once met a president of the United States, and his second sentence to me was about knees.
nebraska i-can ifs
I'll be happy if I can just stay out of Nebraska.
ice guests rough
I like when the ice gets thin, the going gets rough, the guests get edgy.
nuts levels sound
There is something about a Luger that separates it from all other handguns, and Luger devotees and Luger society members speak of it in romantic terms that must sound plain nuts to those who consider themselves level-headed.
