I work best when people are here to puncture me

Particularly with live TV, I have a really good time reacting in the moment to things that are going on around me. I try to think of the viewers' perspective too.

Be. Here. NOW. Don't forget to breathe. When all else fails, grab a clown nose.

I love working with smart-funny people.

I tend to pick on the people I'm closest with because I know they know it's not personal.

I would think anyone who does anything is always concerned about their customers.

When a contestant actually loses consciousness, I think that's a good sign.

My natural-born sarcasm, when it's unimpeded, can be a bit overbearing at times and I'm the first to admit that.

I'm a liberal Democrat, and I state that proudly.

I'm not a big raised stage fan.

Humor requires perspective. Perspective requires focus. Focus requires balance. Balance requires attention to the present moment. In the 'now' one is freed from labels. Success and failure, good luck and bad—they're all constructs of your mind.

I actually feel, in a lot of ways, that I'm in better shape than I was when I was 30.

I studied and performed and even taught mime years ago.

People see me on TV and I'm this calm, level headed guy. Honestly, that's the furthest thing from who I am. For a long time I struggled with anger and stress. It was killing me, figuratively and literally.

What possibilities exist here? What is presenting itself to me IN THIS MOMENT that I can use? In a very real sense, it's meditation in motion, the practical application of an esoteric practice. And it relies on the acceptance of serendipity. Serendipity, the effect of accidentally discovering something fortunate

I'd like to have a drink with Bill Maher and see how he feels. We were too conservative coming over to Fox from fX, and got ourselves off our best game
