I Think That What Comes Through In Chicago Humor Is The Affection. Even Though Youre Poking Fun At Someone Or Something, Theres Still An Affection For It.

I Gave Up Accounting. I Went In For About Six Months Writing Ad Copy. I Was Fired From That, And Then Another Guy And I Did A Kind Of Poor Man's Bob And Ray Kind Of Syndicated Radio Show. Then I Decided To Stick It Out And See What Happened. I'd Give It A Year, A Year Became Two Years, And Then Two Years Became Three Years, And Then Along Came The Record Album.

I Am A Minimalist. I Like Saying The Most With The Least.

When You're Going For A Joke, You're Stuck Out There If It Doesn't Work. There's Nowhere To Go. You've Done The Drum Role And The Cymbal Clash And You're Out On The End Of The Plank.
