The secret of writing comedy is to know where it's all going, then get ahead of it. - Robert Orben

Very few people ever meet celebrities. All we really know is what we read about them and the most memorable lines are jokes. That's how we tend to define what we think of a public figure.

It always seems to someone outside the business that it is very difficult to write for a comedy show because it must be done quickly. Actually, it is much easier to write this humor than to do a joke or a show from scratch, because the audience knows the plot. Just mention what is going on and then deliver the punch line.

The chance to be seen as a warm, witty guy is too good an opportunity for a politician to miss.
