But if something funny happens I can't resist. I have to tell the people.

I don't believe that anybody has come to a conclusion on why something is funny. It's funny because it's ridiculous and it's ridiculous for different reasons at different times.

It's interesting that whenever I meet some of the other Bond girls I always have something in common and it is an interesting sorority. We all share about our Bonds. 'Did your Bond do that?' 'Yes mine did!' So it is quite funny conversations. We may as well be in high school.

And at the time it is funny how you can look at something and say for example with my shoulder injury when it first happened I said this is the worst thing that could happen to me. Why me why now? Now I look back and say it was probably the best thing that happened to me.

I'm on so late I'm definitely the last seconds of anyone's attention. So I just want to give them something dumb to laugh at so they go 'That's funny ' then fall asleep.

I don't know now if I'm funny. I just keep talking and hope that I hit something that's funny.

Especially with a comedy you've got the clear cut goal of trying to make a scene funny. It's not like drama where you're trying to achieve some kind of emotion or trying to further the story along. You're trying to figure out what's the funniest way to do something.

This may sound funny but as much as the 'Today' show matured me it also was something of a cocoon. I'd been happy there. I never went into the boss's office and pounded my fist on the desk saying 'Give me more money! Give me a prime-time show!'

It sounds funny but the 2008 Olympics were something that just kind of happened and I was lucky they came at a point when I was uninjured and well prepared. As a gymnast you can't ask for much more.

I'm never afraid to try something if I think it's funny. And I know I'll regret it if I don't.

I don't really necessarily think I'm a funny guy but I like the opportunity to take on something that I don't feel I'm the best at doing.

On the stage you're there it's live. There's a beginning a middle an end. When something is funny you hear it right away.

It's funny with fiction - once you cut something it hasn't happened anymore.

Something about New York man: You can do more comedy there probably than you can anywhere in the world. If you're interested in being funny New York is the place to go.

I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.

It's funny as you live through something you're not aware of it.

I can never tell when something is funny. I just have to do it onstage and find out.

At home in L.A. Sunday is lazy. It's the wife and me lying in bed with coffee watching 'The Soup' or something funny on TiVo. The kid will occasionally join us. Eventually breakfast is at a place down the street called Paty's. And we always have some kind of great dinner - my wife makes a great roast beef.

There's something dangerous about what's funny. Jarring and disconcerting. There is a connection between funny and scary.

It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to.

What's funny is that the idea of popularity - even the use of the word 'popular' - is something that had been mostly absent from my life since junior high. In fact the hallmark of life after junior high seemed to be the shedding of popularity as a central concern.

Funny is only something that others know about you - you can't be funny by yourself.

You know being relevant or coming up with something interesting funny to say about what's current is just as hard as it might ever be depending on the serendipity of it all.

I've never been married but I tell people I'm divorced so they won't think something's wrong with me.
