The common thread of my comedy shows is conflict and, I guess, the frustration of people who either argue with you or just say stuff which is blatantly incorrect, and nobody calls them out on it.

Whatever what your job is, you want to do a job that matters.

We're pretty down-to-earth at 'The Daily Show.' Everyone is pretty sane. We don't party crazy.

I like to think we're all the sum of our experiences, so no one has my perspective.

To me, comedy and music are not even really separate entities.

I do miss the rhythms of comedy. And I've never been able to perform very well without an audience. The sitcoms I've done had them. It was like doing a little play.

One of the jobs of comedy is to expose hypocrisy. When you look at countries like Iran or North Korea that don't have freedom of speech, we who do should push it as far as we need to.

There's sketch, improv, writing, acting, music, and badminton. Those are the seven forms of comedy.
