'Jersey Shore' is one of the best shows of all time. They had so many hooks.
But my problem was that I did an hour for Comedy Central and nobody seemed to care.
Comedy's the only job I say where you wake up and you're like 'Can't do it!'
Even at it's worst, 'Def Jam' was extremely interesting and extremely well performed. And the crowds were amazing.
I always say to Blake Griffin that he has a better comedy career than I do.
I don't really have a process. I just get agitated or aroused by an idea in the world, and then I want to give my rebuttal.
I don't think people understand what comedy is supposed to do. We will observe things, we will make fun of things.
I don't think there is 70 good hours of TV in a week.
I had people think I was brilliant, then 'Half Baked' bricked. They literally look at me like a homeless person.
I just love well-organized, very serious nonsense.
I just realized at a certain point that no matter how much writing I did, I'm still a gym rat for comedy clubs.
I know from doing stand-up, I don't want to do a joke that I don't trust.
I love 'Frontline.' It's the best TV show in the history of television.
I mean, no, I don't think anything is too far; you can make fun of anything.
I needed to be more self-determining, and the most self-determining thing you can do in comedy is stand-up.
I think anyone can write about anything that they have knowledge of and exposure to.
If you're into social justice it's hard not to be on black people's side.
I'm not the easiest dude to work with.
I think being honest on TV is pretty rare. So if I can be that, I would like to be.
What I love is getting a new joke, or a premise like a sketch idea or a movie idea. That's the best feeling for a comedian.
The story of '3 Mics' is the story of a guy who wants to be something and is sort of figuring out how he gets there.
With most specials, even the best comedians will tell you they could have cut 15 or 20 minutes out of it.
I think the only op-ed columnist in 'The Times' - where I read all of his stuff - is Paul Krugman.
There's nothing worse than trying to be funny and not being funny.
