Why should I be feeling tension? It’s The Daily Show Picture Quote #1

The great joy of doing ‘The Daily Show’ for me is that I get to sit on the fence between cultures. I am commenting on the absurdity of both sides as an outsider and insider.

The one show that I will continue to be a guest on is ‘The Daily Show’ with Jon Stewart, if he’ll have me. It’s not competitive with CNN and it’s too much fun Picture Quote #1

At first the difference will be in whatever atmosphere I bring into it. It’s not going to be like, ‘I really want to do The Daily Show and I’d love to turn it into an abstract musical.’ I like the format and the chance to satirize the news Picture Quote #1

I care about politics, but I have a tough time making comedy out of it. I was so happy to have a chance to be on The Daily Show, and I think Jon Stewart’s so funny... but mostly in my own comedy, I care about less relevant things Picture Quote #1

Because I went from the ‘Daily Show’ where I was a fake news guy on a fake news show, to ‘Bruce Almighty’ where I played a news guy, to ‘Anchorman’ where I played a news guy, now I’m... yeah, I tend to gravitate towards suits Picture Quote #1
