It's a hard, lonely feeling, to be completely yourself in front of strangers.

It's weird doing a show on a Saturday, because we get the news after everybody had their way with it. We still have to find a way to get something fresh out of the story, but also keep the integrity of it. A lot of times the obvious take is so obvious it's already been on Twitter, so we gotta find a new thing.

I grew up in the projects with four older brothers. And there were tough, macho gangsters, drug dealers, killers, and thugs all in my neighborhood. And they were afraid of my mother. So, yeah, I know some strong women.

I would say Colin Jost is Kanye West because he takes like the creative risk a lot of times, whereas I'm like, Uh, I don't know...

That's one of the things about comedy that annoys me the most from a comedian perspective. Comedy has gotten so segregated. Now it's like if you don't agree with somebody, you probably aren't going to like their jokes. I think comedians are starting to write for their audience and not towards the country.

No matter how you feel, you've got to be able to laugh at yourself. If you can laugh at Donald Trump, then you better be able to laugh at yourself, too. For us as comedians, we have to point out what's funny.

Donald Trump is Donald Trump! He doesn't apologize for who he is. We know he's tacky. We know he's orange. We know he's got a bad haircut.

One of the hardest things in the world to say is President Trump, and not out of disrespect - just because people have known him just as Donald Trump for so long. It would be like if people said, He's a doctor now, call him Doctor Trump.

I guess Trump is joke-worthy more than ever because he's the president. I think Donald Trump being president is more about where the country is at as opposed to it actually being about Donald Trump. It feels like going to couples therapy and really finding out how your other half feels.

As a guy comedian, your special is probably the closest thing to the excitement of a wedding day. It's your first one, and you want it to be perfect, and you want it to mean something. You want it to look good.

I think when you first get a job, you're just trying to do what the last regime did, just to keep it going, as opposed to actually doing what you want to do.

Donald Trump is making decisions that affect people's day-to-day life, and he's constantly, constantly making some crazy announcement. It's like, Well, what are we supposed to talk about? The D train? Traffic? Trump is the one guy that's like, Yeah, I'll do 90 minutes of live comedy. Seems easy enough.

I feel like it's a lot easier to parody Democrats just because they take themselves so seriously. I think Republicans have a little bit more of an open mind as to how ridiculous they are. Democrats pride themselves in being the highbrow, smart, right choice.

In comedy you work with people so often that they just become familiar faces - it's like a fraternity.

There's tons of stuff where you're like, God, I wish I could take that back.
