Politicians don't say no to cameras very often.

The Earth will be around for a long time before you have a funnier president than Obama. He has a stand-up's cadence and the awareness and ability to make jokes about himself before comedians can. That's a page almost every politician should try to take from his book.

I started in high school, and in college, I studied radio, TV, and film. The plan was to be a filmmaker, and it was always comedy.

I'm a bold man. I throw caution to the wind.

In 2004 I had the fortune - or the misfortune - of playing John Kerry. It was hard because I think the best impressions exaggerate someone's most well-known quality. And exaggerating gravitas is very hard to pull off.

My parents introduced me to 'SNL,' Monty Python, and Richard Pryor probably way earlier than they had any right to.
