We will see about Obama's legacy. I still think the historical nature of his candidacy will be the biggest part of his legacy.

Every television show is sentenced to death - time and date of execution unknown.

No matter what his crimes were, Alton Sterling did not deserve to be executed for them. Look, guys, the punishment for resisting arrest shouldn't be death. The punishment for selling bootleg CDs shouldn't be death. The punishment for having a gun in an open-carry state shouldn't be death. The punishment for being a black man shouldn't be death.

I have a free voice. I have a free mind. I have freedom of expression.

I thought Sarah Palin was the ultimate expression of comic outrageousness in a person.

Many times, when you do what I do or work in journalism in general, people try to not explicitly present their opinions on topics.

I was taught from a very early age that I had to work twice as hard to get half as much. That was the world I grew up in - a very strong work ethic.

When you work in television, you're in the writer's room all the time.

Police have to have one of the most difficult jobs in society today. But at the same time, I think, a person in that position - their responsibility has to be high as well.

I'd rather go after the people who are the guardians or what we're doing - the news people and the politicians and that sort of thing. I always feel like those should be my targets, not really entertainers. That's just my personal opinion.
