Net neutrality: The only two words that promise more boredom in the English language are 'featuring Sting,'

I get nostalgic for British negativity. There is an inherent hope and positive drive to New Yorkers. When you go back to Britain, everybody is just running everything down. It's like whatever the opposite of a hug is.

Florida, just because you're shaped like some combination of a gun and a d*ck doesn't mean you have to act that way.

I'm not really much of an actor, so when I started on 'The Daily Show', I was just trying to adopt the faux authority of a newsperson.
