Adam McKay
It's just funny that Americans have to contend with 2000 channels, and 60 different specific news sources, and the confusion that it creates, and the junk that we get to see is hilarious.
Adam McKay
Anyone in the comedy world knows that Horatio Sanz and Chris Parnell are two of the funniest guys around.
Adam McKay
For my money, I don't think there's been a better comedy than 'Kung Fu Hustle' in a lot of years. That movie just knocked me over.
Adam McKay
I got the sense that Alabama is a place where people don't want handouts and don't much care for people talking out of the side of their mouth.
Adam McKay
I'm not against banking. Banking allowed our modern society to happen, it is essential. It connects the work through finance, so banking is good.
Adam McKay

Adam McKay
