The first time I played golf was in Flushing Meadows, Queens, when I was about 16 or 17. They had an 18-hole pitch-and-putt. My buddies and I would hop the fence and sneak on and play.
Whenever I walk off the golf course, I thank God that I'm able to tell a joke. I thank God I'm good at something.
If golf wasn't enjoyable and there wasn't a lot of humor and enjoyment, even though the game is so frustrating, you would wonder why you put yourself through it.
I'm now unemployed. It's a weird feeling with no work, but at least there's still golf. Standup comedy is like my core, it's what I do. But I want to be a pro golfer. It's a love/hate relationship with golf. I can come away feeling so serene, and yet, it's the thing that I can let get to me to throw a club and say curses that don't even exist. I'm obsessed with something that won't let me master it. I don't know. I need therapy.
We want to recognize that it is the end of the show without really saying it. But we'll satisfy the audience's desire for a little heart.
We couldn't land right away there was a dog on the runway,
It's my insecurity that makes me want to be a comic, that makes me need the audience.
We could send our money but we still feel we could contribute more.
We see another chapter in his life, you know, not to give it away. But he goes to another place. And, of course, there's a lot of adventure and craziness.
It is our swan song, and (winning) kind of symbolizes the closure at the end, and I miss it already. I'm gonna go bawl now.
It was a shock to win, ... Even you guys - admit it - you thought 'Desperate Housewives' was going to win.
I've always wondered, what am I going to do that's important with these stupid jokes that I tell.
I wanted to do something different, but it's a weird transition you're making here. You're trying to get the audience to come with you.
I'm aging, and the world is seeing it.
