The only thing that I don't like is my kids watching comedy that isn't actually funny. There's a lot of supposed tween comedy on TV that isn't particularly funny, but it's got a lot of laugh track. And I go, 'Please don't watch that. Please just watch something that's actually funny.'

Stephen Colbert

Part of what attracted me to the village was it had a lot of parallels to contemporary issues. Like, fear and the way fear controls us.
