Comedian

I'm always making micro-adjustments onstage, listening to the audience, and what a crowd is like can be infectious.

I tend to find comedy in dark places. I also tend to find comedy in taking on the status quo - which has always been something I find important.

I've always liked outrageous comedy and pushing the envelope.

I could sit here and say, 'What would have happened if I hadn't made that crazy television show, if I hadn't made those crazy movies?' Well, I'd be back in Canada working at Dairy Queen.

Technology can't eliminate the need for people going to want to go out and see theater and standup comedy.

I recommend people don't get in high-profile marriages. There are a lot of people in the world. You don't have to marry someone with their own team of publicists, managers, agents, and lawyers.

I'm a different guy on stage.

If something becomes mean-spirited and hurtful, it's not funny.

Vegas is exciting, and it's nice to be somewhere on a regular basis rather than just criss-crossing the country. It allows me to have a semblance of a life.

It would be a dream to perform at Radio City Music Hall.

I was a huge fan of Tom Snyder.

I've always tried to do things a little bit before they were being done by the mainstream. I challenge myself to do that in stand-up also, to talk about things that I'm not hearing anybody talk about onstage and in the media.

I've always found success in sort of separating myself from the pack mentality things.

I basically went into broadcasting when I was in college because I knew that there was nothing like what I had in my mind on TV at the time.

Everyone on 'The Apprentice' hates each other. They put you in a room, and they don't give you anything to do. They leave you there for 10 hours... they don't give you any food or water, and you start getting angry and arguing with each other.

Comedy is delivered to people in the same form that music is being delivered: by YouTube. People are sharing music and comedy in the same way now.

The dirty little secret that nobody likes to talk about is that things just might have been better before the Internet. We had more time to ourselves before cell phones and text messaging and Facebook consumed our lives.

Not many people get that chance to have multiple studios wanting you to make a movie with them.

With the long-format interview, I can get into really interesting conversations with my guests. You know what it's like to get the opportunity to speak to really interesting people and pick their brain about things. To have time to let a guest actually speak and tell a story and get into detail is really exciting.

All comedy is really talking about social issues and things that are affecting our lives.
