fun people titles
An insult comic is the title I was given. What I do is exaggeration. I make fun of people, at life, of myself and my surroundings.

I have to have energy because I have a lot of expenses. A couple of cars, couple of dogs and a big estate.
talking legends wells
When you talk about George Burns you're talking about a living legend . . . well, a legend, anyhow.
light midnight goes-on
I have a problem, if the light goes on on TV and it blinks midnight, I don't know how to fix it.
people singing opera
Italians are fantastic people, really. They can work you over in an alley while singing an opera.

I've got an accountant who's been with me forty years. If he makes a mistake, he dies.

It's very sweet to have people say nice things about you, and I always accept that.

When you enter a room, you have to kiss his ring. I don't mind, but he has it in his back pocket.
lasts different stand-alone
When you stand alone and sell yourself, you can't please everyone. But when you're different, you can last.
hard-times giving people
I always rib people, but nobody ever gives me a hard time. I don't know why. Maybe they're afraid of what I might say. There's probably a lesson in that somewhere, but I don't know what it is.
kings thinking phones
Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they're just regular people. Like Larry King. We've been friends for forty years. He's one of the few guys I know who's really famous. One minute he's talking to the president on his cell phone, and then the next minute he's saying to me, Do you think we ought to give the waiter another dollar?
beach sitting world
No matter where you go in this world, you will always find a Jew sitting in the beach chair next to you.

Asians are nice people, but they burn a lot of shirts.
ideas giving knows
I have no idea what I'm going to say when I stand up to give a toast. But I do know that anything I say I find funny.
