that's what late-night cable is for, I guess. You don't have to hear it at 8 o'clock, but you sure can hear it at 11:30, or 11 o'clock, on Adult Swim, if you so desire -- it will be there for you.

I've never been able to predict what people are going to get mad at. I've tried and I've always been surprised.

Ultimately I think everyone draws their own line of what's shocking and what is inappropriate in different places. For you, some 10-year-old kids talking about hoes may not (be) that big of a deal. But someone out there is gonna flip. There's no way to know. So I just try to deliver an amusing and decent story and leave the shock and the awe to whatever people have in their own heads.

For me, it really first has to be a good story and be funny. If you're doing sincere comedy, the edgy stuff kind of happens on its own.

Oprah has the power to lay waste to entire industries with a mere utterance. That's a power that you have to respect. And ultimately I respect it.

they're not really thrilled about it, but I keep trying to push them.
