Quote: 25, 30 years ago, that meant something, they were making some money. And they were doing all sorts of comedy, screaming at the audience, basically crowd control. And then there was the whole urban comedy scene. [Bob Saget]
Quote: A couple people are absent that I love like Cosby and Seinfeld are not there, for obvious reasons, and Chris Rock doesn't tell the joke. [Bob Saget]
Quote: Gilbert Gottfried's scene's an amazing piece of video. Forgetting how foul it is, forgetting how you perceive filth. It was right after 9/11, and this guy is already feeling like 'What does it matter, what does anything matter.' And he's a little bit nutty anyway. [Bob Saget]
Quote: I don't like the negative of reality tv - the 'you're no good, so you have to leave, I choose you, but I thought you really loved me.' It's all about how bad people are and I just hate that. I like Pimp my Ride where someone is helping somebody. [Bob Saget]
Quote: I don't roll like that but I've never been with a hooker either. Yeah, that's good to say in an interview cause I feel bad a little because people grew up watching me and that's a little disturbing. [Bob Saget]
Quote: I have a feeling I'm going to wake up one day and say 'I can't do dirty stuff anymore, I want to go all clean.' I'll do clean stuff too, I like to entertain people. Then they egged me on; we shot it at The Laugh Factory. [Bob Saget]
Quote: I have three kids, the oldest is 18 and her friends are going to see it The Aristocrats because they told her they're going to see it, especially her guy friends. [Bob Saget]
Quote: I just did a play in New York which has been my best experience that I've had for maybe ever. It was Paul Weitz's play called Privilege and I was in New York for three months. [Bob Saget]
Quote: I think comedy is on an organic upsurge right now because when I started, it was 1978 at The Comedy Store and Letterman had just stopped emceeing his morning show. [Bob Saget]
Quote: I think Desperate Housewives is a pretty good show, I watch it, I like it and I don't love reality tv that much. I do watch some, I've got three daughters so we'll watch the good stuff, the fun stuff. [Bob Saget]
Quote: I think when you dissect a joke too much, you have ruined whatever there is in comedy. [Bob Saget]
Quote: I was on Entourage last week smoking a bong and making out with hookers and I did show them that before, cause it wasn't a hard 'r' cause a lot of people are watching that show that they know, not my little one - she's 12, but very sophisticated so it's an unusual case. [Bob Saget]
Quote: I would actually go up during those; it was kind of scary for the people at first and then they were happy. Now, there's a couple amazing people out on the road like Pablo Francisco and Dane Cook is out there and they're building a huge audience with the craft of stand up comedy. [Bob Saget]
Quote: I'm doing 5000 seat theaters and audiences are going nuts, it's fantastic and it makes me very happy. I'm dirty, but not like this; I just do comedy that I find funny. I'm working on a new tv show for cable and it's not set up yet. [Bob Saget]
Quote: I've had a pilot every single year that didn't sell for the past four years, that'll smack you in the back of the head. I had a really good one last year; I wouldn't have done the play in New York if I had gotten that one. [Bob Saget]
Quote: It looked like they went to Paul Riser's office and George Carlin's office, but I don't like to do things around my house, especially not The Aristocrats joke - you know, I've got three kids. [Bob Saget]
Quote: It turns into this 'mad as hell and not going to take it anymore' scene from Network and he goes nuts, which I felt was the most compelling part of the movie in a way cause it wasn't airable and he just went into battle attack. [Bob Saget]
Quote: It was a JOB; the video show was a JOB; you don't tell the Aristocrats joke at 8 o'clock at night on network tv, it would be funny though. But those guys know I like dirty stuff, I like clean stuff too. [Bob Saget]
Quote: It's 103 comedians, or however many it is, and how would everyone tell it. It's enough people of substance that it makes you think of the people who aren't there that are alive. [Bob Saget]
Quote: Now people want what the movie was about, which is violent comedy. And that's really what The Aristocrats is based on - what will a family do out of desperation. [Bob Saget]
Quote: Paul Riser tells it in an interesting way; he dissects it and tells the structure, you know, 'you don't mention that part here.' But that's what's interesting about it and the people who are absent are interesting too. [Bob Saget]
Quote: Right before I did this play, I did Entourage and they had written the part for me. I'm friends with a lot of the guys on that show - Doug Allen, Cliff Dorfman and Rob Weiss; we wrote a movie once together. [Bob Saget]
Quote: Rock did a great job on the Oscars. I saw him working the set out before. The fact that people can't tell if he killed or bombed is not a bad thing cause he didn't bomb. He could have done a few things different, but the first time hosting the Oscars! Chris Rock hosting the Oscars! I like that! [Bob Saget]
Quote: The Comedy Store - all three rooms were filled with 800 people in the room. And during that time, all these guys and some women, but mostly guys who weren't funny were doing stand up for a living; they weren't accountants, they were making $30-$50 grand a year on the road, or more. [Bob Saget]
Quote: The nature of comedy is 'just do it.' But I think what's interesting about it is this joke has been around and why. And it's just saying what's wrong and how wrong can you be if you say it. [Bob Saget]
