"Politicians don't say no to cameras very often." — Seth Meyers

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.
