If I wouldn't offend my religion or God, why would I want to offend an audience because in effect those people are being watched over by the same person.
We kept a broad audience, and we didn't make fun of people who had necessarily made mistakes in their life and burned them to the ground. We made fun of a commercial or a movie or ourselves.
I think there are a lot of things out there that are humorous that people don't realize until you actually show them what is going on. Saran Wrap for one thing. You know, you could pull enough of that out of the box and it will actually kill you. It will get a hold of you, stick to you, and choke you to death.
I was dyslexic - was, still am - 'cause I would see words that weren't there. And people just started laughing, and I thought, well, this is a good way to make a living. I'll just go downtown to read and have people laugh, you know?
People enjoy sitting back knowing they won't hear a lot of four-letter words.
It's hard to be sad when you're laughing, so I enjoy making people happy.
The reason 'The Carol Burnett Show' did so well in the ratings is because people were looking for that comfort zone when the whole family sat around and watched television and enjoyed it.
I've never really taken anything very seriously. I enjoy life because I enjoy making other people enjoy it.
We have encountered a situation that wasn't expected in the work plan (for this site). We have asked GE to evaluate it.
Every show wants to be like Friends, and so you've got these shows that literally are so much alike you could stack them on top of each other.
Whoa, is this going to hurt. Look at that picture.
You know how you tell your dog, stay? You are not controlling him,
I would get ill before going onstage - something about getting in front of people, and if they don't laugh, I'm a bomb. I got over it when somebody laughed.
We're two different people. But no matter what we do, we appreciate each other so much that we can't imagine what we could say to each other where we'd break up.
