"The test of a real comedian is whether you laugh at him before he opens his mouth."

George Nathan Topics: Comedian Comedy Funny

"Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor."

Sholom Aleichem Topics: Comedy Russian Writer

"Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end."

Sid Caesar Topics: American Actor Comedy

"Today's comedian has a cross to bear that he built himself. A comedian of the older generation did an ''act'' and he told the audience, ''This is my act.'' Today's comic is not doing an act. The audience assumes he's telling the truth. What is truth today may be a damn lie next week."

Lenny Bruce Topics: Comedy

"Sometimes I wave to people I don't know. It's very dangerous to wave to someone you don't know, because what if they don't have a hand? They'll think you're cocky. 'Look what I got... This thing is useful. I'm gonna go pick somethin' up.'"

Mitch Hedberg Topics: Comedy

"[Equally unexpected was the comedy writing Emmy that went to Jim Valley and show creator Mitchell Hurwitz for an episode of] Arrested Development. ... We'd be remiss if we didn't point out that you've twice rewarded us for something people won't watch."

Mitchell Hurwitz Topics: Comedy

"I watch news programs and I love Comedy Central. I love The Daily Show-it's smarter than anything else. I also like The Critic and Celebrity Death Match and South Park. I love all of that."

Beatrice Arthur Topics: Comedy

"This movie is so drastically wrong, its pathos and its comedy are so wildly misplaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it really is. 'Oh My God!'-- that's all you can say."

Harry Shearer Topics: Comedy

"I'm now unemployed. It's a weird feeling with no work, but at least there's still golf. Standup comedy is like my core, it's what I do. But I want to be a pro golfer. It's a love/hate relationship with golf. I can come away feeling so serene, and yet, it's the thing that I can let get to me to throw a club and say curses that don't even exist. I'm obsessed with something that won't let me master it. I don't know ... I need therapy."

Ray Romano Topics: Comedy

"Comedy has to be done en clair. You can't blunt the edge of wit or the point of satire with obscurity. Try to imagine a famous witty saying that is not immediately clear."

James Thurber Topics: American Comedian Comedy Funny

"The most encouraging development for NBC is the development of a comedy that could get viewers to take a new look at the network and 'My Name is Earl' is the type of program that has sustainability."

John Rash Topics: Comedy

"The really interesting people we meet in our lives are mixed with comedy and tragedy,"

Callie Thorne Topics: Comedy

"The really interesting people we meet in our lives are mixed with comedy and tragedy. What they've created with Sheila, the audience and I have no idea what's going to happen, what she's going to do, or what she's going to say."

Callie Thorne Topics: Comedy

"People need to be peppered or even outraged occasionally. Our national comedy and drama is packed with earthy familiarity and honest vulgarity. Clean vulgarity can be very shocking and that, in my view, gives greater involvement."

Kenneth Williams Topics: British Actor Comedy

"We sort of look at our years at 'Letterman' as comedy grad school. I don't mind seeing jokes and hearing the laugh track because that was our bread and butter for a long time, just making an audience laugh ... There's no better feeling than having a crowd there and hearing a laugh."

Carter Bays Topics: Comedy

"But then I became so disillusioned.... I had very little life experience and certainly no technique to deal with comedy with any flair."

Piper Laurie Topics: Comedy

"We run the gamut from drama to sports to comedy to reality-type programming."

Al Johnson Topics: Comedy

"It's hard enough to write a good drama, it's much harder to write a good comedy, and it's hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is."

Jack Lemon Topics: American Actor Comedy

"Even if you didn't see the movie, you'd see two words you'd never seen put together before -- comedy and Muslim. Comedy is friendly -- it's the least offensive word in our language."

Albert Brooks Topics: Comedy

"The world is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel."

Horace Walpole Topics: Comedy

"Improvisation is almost like the retarded cousin in the comedy world. We've been trying forever to get improvisation on TV. It's just like stand-up. It's best when it's just left alone. It doesn't translate always on TV. It's best live."
