My kids are growing up and it's hard to accept they are their own person and they're independent.

My career has been my craziest adventure.

I can't complain about my career, that's for sure.

If my father had hugged me even once, I'd be an accountant right now.

My first big gig was as a correspondent on Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show.' My job was to parody TV reporters and political pundits. As a result, I was often invited onto cable news shows as comic relief.

I like situational comedy when people are being completely serious and yet you can find something extremely funny, not jokes.

I put my parents through mini hell with my laziness and poor grades, so I love making them laugh when they see me on television. When I work, I'm always thinking, 'Would my mother find this funny?' The belly-laugh jokes will hit her every time.

Reviewers said Ghost Country was rich, astonishing and affecting in the way it blended comedy, magic, and a gritty urban realism in a breathtaking ride along Chicago's mean streets.
