You know what, I think maybe it's because men like to fart, and the host wants to be able to sit in his writers' room and just pass gas freely. Me, I'm a lady. I'm dainty. I know to get up and leave the room and go to my office.
I have a well-balanced show. It's 50/50 on men/women, and also African-American/white writers, it's the same thing. I have four African-American writers, and four non-African-American writers.
But sometimes the women writers will pitch something and I'll hear it, but the men will keep talking.
That's proof right there that men and women are on different levels because men can watch two women together and that's a turn-on. It doesn't work the same way for us, does it, ladies? No, uh-uh - it doesn't work the same. You ask any woman in here her sexual fantasy, and I will bet you a million dollars that it's NOT to go home and catch your man bent over with some big, burly guy standing behind him.
Men don't hear women.
Men are dogs. Men are dogs. We got to stop it. Men are not dogs. Uh-uh. Dogs are loyal.
I hate when women compare men to dogs. Men are not dogs. Dogs are loyal. I've never found any strange panties in my dog's house.
But I understand that relationship; I understand how the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law relationship has so many conflicts because it's so forced.
I got the job by walking into the director's office, ... I saw this guy behind a desk and said, 'Where is the director, little boy? What is this -- bring-your-kid-to-work day?'
Of course, my mother would love for me to work clean,
Monster-in-Law, I'm not going to say anything bad about that girl. Everybody picks on her. And she doesn't deserve it.
It's fun coming back home. The crowds have so much love and support for me. They're really smart crowds and I love playing in D.C. for that reason.
When I'm not on T.V. or working on a movie, I'm on the road doing stand-up. That's my roots.
We have to get out there and touch the people and let them know that you are thinking about them and to try and lift their spirits and get awareness out there to the rest of the country.
