| 1 | [on if he watches The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992)] Never. I did watch it one time, because you know there was that big rivalry between the two shows. Just out of curiosity, I wanted to see how special his show was. And I found out it wasn't. |
| 2 | When The Late Show first moved into the neighborhood, I was told they were doing this segment called "Visit Our Neighbors" where each and every week they would take turns visit one of their new neighbors. I was so frightened about being on television, I was just hoping that they would forget about me. But the inevitable did happen and it's been going on for 13 years. |
| 3 | About his frequent participation on the Late Show with David Letterman: "Ever since I was a kid I have always dreamed of owning a deli/fountain shop. Maybe it was because I enjoyed food so much. My dream did eventually come true but I never thought it would end up on television." |
