night two feet
I'm too short to host a late-night talk show. It's like the bar at an amusement-park ride. You have to be six foot two or over.
shopping atlanta clubs
I've always liked Atlanta. And not just for the strip clubs, but the shopping and the food.
new-york cities emigration
I was born in New York City, but I was raised in New Jersey, part of the great Jewish emigration of 1963.
hilarious character body
I was born with an adult head and a tiny body. Like a 'Peanuts' character.
news watches terrorism
If you watch the news and don't like it, then this is your counter program to the news.
yesterday president world
Yesterday, the president met with a group he calls the coalition of the willing. Or, as the rest of the world calls them, Britain and Spain.
expression insult-to-injury ifs
A joke is a joke. There's an expression - I don't know if you have it - that's 'adding insult to injury.'
president politics debate
I heard Dennis Kucinich say in a debate, 'When I'm president... and I just wanted to stop him and say, 'Dude.'
awards host charm
I'm thrilled to be asked to host the Academy Awards for the second time because, as they say, the third time's a charm.
giving prejudice chance
More than 150 heads of state attended the UN Summit, giving New Yorkers a chance to get in touch with prejudices they didn't even know they had.
marijuana quota needs
Here's the point - you're looking at affirmative action, and you're looking at marijuana. You legalize marijuana, no need for quotas, because really, who's gonna wanna work?
rights september-11 liberty
If the events of September 11, 2001, have proven anything, it's that the terrorists can attack us, but they can't take away what makes us American - our freedom, our liberty, our civil rights. No, only Attorney General John Ashcroft can do that.
giving people news
If you're going to give people 20 minutes of news satire, you've also got to give them Tiffani-Amber Thiessen or you're going to have rioting in the streets.
strong army names
Many of our soldiers are stationed at Camp Coyote just south of the Iraqi border. This is how you know we have a strong army, when you can actually tell your enemy exactly where your camp is and what its name is.
