This country wants to laugh. We want to, and we need to. I'm happy to oblige.

We all know him: everybody has an Archie Bunker in their family, so you love to laugh at him, and you never take it personally; everybody just has a ball laughing at him.

I feel it is time to lighten up and laugh about things and enjoy ourselves a little bit more.

That's my opportunity to hide behind that old lady and say what I want to say.

My body has been making women laugh for the last 20 years and I'm happy to continue to oblige.

Everyone has a crazy old lady in their family like 'Mama.' No one ever comes up to me and says 'Mama' is just like them, so no one is ever offended by her. Even young people like to laugh at her. I think she helps kids appreciate their own grandmothers more.
