FX does a great thing with its comedies where they give them a slow push out there.
To me some of the funniest movies would be probably categorized in the dramatic genre, and likewise some of the most dramatic films, or films that have the most dramatic moments, are in comedies.
They're not the sharpest people - babies. So, you must be everything to them.
She kind of reminds one of Helen. There's something very similar about Elizabeth Perkins.
He was born early. But he was born within a safe range of premature.
Comedy, your funny bone, is formed in childhood.
In fact, I don't watch a lot of contemporary comedy for fear of being influenced by it.
I really don't take any interest at all in contemporary comedy.

When the response to comedy becomes cheering instead of laughing, that is so irritating. It's the worst. Here's what cheering is: "Look at me!" That's what cheering is. Cheering is not "Hey, I agree with what you're saying"; cheering is "I'm liking this more than anybody else!"
I haven't seen comedy as popular as it is now since when I started, in the late 1980s boom. It feels like that again, in that it's everywhere, and it's great to see.
There's something strange about comedy requests. I guess if you enjoy something, why not hear it again? But there's something weird about it being live, when the person is there, and asking them, "Hey, do this thing like you did it, but make it seem like you're making it up on the spot.".
One of my favorite films is 'Dumb and Dumber.' I'd love to do some really silly comedy someday.
I'd love to do situation comedy - it's the best job in show business.
Maybe pretty women were always funny but only now decided to go into comedy.
