What's great about this hotel [Sheraton Universal Hotel in Universal City, CA] is that I stayed here for a month when I was competing on the Oprah reality show. So it's like coming home.

You can never walk a mile in someone elses shoes, but you can walk a mile in your own and be proud of it.

I'm currently doing a Soul Pancake show called Top of the Monday, which is basically a good morning news show. It's just me being silly, telling people about good news that's going on in the world, putting them in the mood to start their week.
Zach Anner
I didn't feel like I was putting anything good into the world, even though it was funny. I wanted to do something more positive that would have an impact. So even when I'm doing naked push-ups or whatever, it's astounding to see how people respond to it.

I do a lot of conferences, and I did a campaign with the Cerebral Palsy Foundation called Just Say Hi. They get celebrities to record little messages about how you start a conversation with someone who has a disability, which is to Just say hi.

I haven't found anything that I've wanted to say that I couldn't do through either the Internet or the reality shows that I've done.

What I don't like about the way the media portrays religion is that they seem to weaponize it and use it as a tool to divide people.
Zach Anner
Everyone who was here [Sheraton Universal Hotel] when I won still works here, so the two biggest moments in my career are intersecting. It's so cool that I can say hi to everybody.

No Atlantis is too underwater or fictional.

The most important thing is to have the conversation, and let people who do make mistakes feel comfortable enough to continue the conversation.

You may not have a physical impairment, but you have things, whether it's finances, self-esteem, it doesn't matter. It's cut from the same cloth.
Zach Anner
I used to be an insult comic, and I didn't end up liking the way that I felt about myself.
Zach Anner
I think that's where it comes into play, when you are just looking at a document or whatever and you see the word disability. Does that automatically trigger something in you that denies someone their personhood?

When I got my Oprah money, the first thing I bought was a really nice electronic bidet toilet seat. It just feels like this is what we should be doing. For everybody who uses it, it's like there's no goin' back.
Zach Anner
I always say, once I get in a room, I can sell myself just fine. I know that not everyone who has a disability has the social skills or cognitive skills that I do, and it may be harder for them to navigate through.

When I was a kid, I thought I would be an action-movie hero. I was like, They're gonna be able to CGI my legs by that point. And then I realized that it was probably better if I stayed a little closer to who I actually am rather than trying to be Bruce Willis.

My friends from the University of Texas. I've had the same friends for over a decade. My brother films a lot he usually edits my Workout Wednesdays. All the people who work on my projects are amazing.

I make funny shows and put a positive message out there, showing people who have body image issues that... you don't have to look a certain way.

Most of my work is comedy it's meant to inspire empathy in people and help them find joy.

The waiter just flashed me something that said, Chew bubblegum. Every morning, when I was about to go to the Oprah competition, my friend used to say this line in a video game to me: It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. There's a strict policy that you can't encourage anyone on a reality show, that would give them an edge.

I would love to get an international version of Riding Shotgun going, because that's what I've been angling at ever since I wanted to do a travel show in the first place.
