My favorite comedians are basically themselves onstage.
I think that, for me, my favorite thing to do is perform standup onstage. Everything else I do is for the exposure to do more stand-up onstage, and for the money, and for the health insurance.
All of my life doing interviews, comedy has been my favorite thing, comedians are my favorite people.
A lot of comedians are really funny onstage, but they can't do a podcast.
Basically I try not to knock other comedians.
What all my favorite comedians have in common is extraordinary honesty.
Louis C. K. is one of my all time favorite standup comedians.
Few comedians can go to their shows and have people yell out bits that they want to hear. It's like going to see your favorite band and yelling out your favorite songs and to say the words along with them.
I don't like the fact that most black people or black comedians have to present themselves in a flamboyant way. It's good if you can do that, but I don't like to think that's the way all black comedians are. I'm not that type.
My favorite comedians are just presenting an argument, and they're doing it in a funny way.
For stand-up comedians that go onstage and get to write and perform and direct, and do all these things, the allure of a television show is still there but if it doesn't offer a level of creative fulfillment, it's oddly unappealing.
My favorite comedians were Jimmy Durante, George Burns, senior citizens.
Comedians get jokes offered to them, rock stars get women and underwear thrown onstage, and I get guys that want to take me fishing.
I try to stay with it and I try to stay in contact with comedians and just keep comedians in my life 'cause comedians are their own species. If you get away from them, especially as a comedian, I think it's dangerous.
I think sometimes comedians and entertainers and artists, sometimes they get onstage, and it's all for what they want to do. I think you still need to do stuff for the audience. They're the ones who are making it possible.
I sometimes think of not doing Twitter or Facebook anymore, but that's how people find their favorite bands and comedians.
There is a cliche that probably has some anecdotal evidence on the side that comedians are very depressed people, but that's because no one is ever going to seem as funny in a normal conversation as compared to when they're up there onstage in the spotlight making a huge audience keel over with laughter.
