“The best-laid plans of mice and comedians usually wind up on the cutting-room floor.”
— Charleston Gazette interview, January 9, 1999
“If you look on their lawn, there are... it looks like a tent city of reporters. I don't know what insight they think they're going to glean from these people's grief, but if there's ever a situation where someone who's just lost their daughter has anything to say other than "this sucks," I'd be happy to see a news crew on their lawn, but until then, why are these people there?”
— On exploitative media coverage of the Danielle Van Dam case, Paley Center for Media interview, 2002
“The people who talk about anti-woke are the biggest fucking pussies you would ever find… I’m just so tired of it. The woke shit, you lose nothing. I’m a comedian — I’ve lost two words in 35 years. Honestly, are you that fucking unimaginative that you can’t figure it out?”
— Jon Stewart Mocks “Anti-Woke” Comedians: “Are You That F*cking Unimaginative?”
“We look at—the absurdity of the system provides us the most material. And that is best served by sort of the theater of it all, you know, which, by the way, thank you both, because it's been helpful.”
— In response to Paul Begala's question of which 2004 presidential candidate would provide the best comedic material if elected.
“[with Stephen Colbert, after presenting the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series to Ricky Gervais and being informed that Gervais was not there] Ricky Gervais couldn't be here tonight, so instead we're going to give this to our friend Steve Carell.”
— Carell, who was among the nominees who had just lost to Gervais, then ran onto the stage, where the three of them group-hugged and jumped around screaming.
