“Being around Don first and foremost was always a lot of fun because he loved being around young people and he loved telling his stories and I loved not just hearing his stories but having the opportunity to bring friends and people who I knew admired Don into his circle and he just got so much out of it and they got so much out of it Ryan Gosling is somebody who saw me with Don Rickles and he said oh boy I love Don Rickles I said well you want to go to dinner with him and he said do you think he'd be interested in that I said so I'll ask him and so I called Don I said right and Don knew every movie Ryan Gosling had been in and his wife were delighted and we had this great dinner where Don told all his stories all his Franks and Oxford stories all his Las Vegas stories and it made me very happy because I know Ryan loved it but mostly”

“Well, yeah, with Democrats and Republicans. Know that's the kind of stuff that is not ideal when you're trying to get people to watch your show, but I wouldn't change any of it.”

“Well, you know, I don't know anything for sure in television, but there have been some relatively credible companies that do these sorts of polls that one of them just found. I just saw one a week ago that I am the most unpopular talk show host among GOP voters. And I think I used to be the most popular talk show host among JP.”

“In fact, commercially, I lose. I used to be popular among Republican television viewers, and now I'm not, if you believe these polls that these people do. So you lost some viewers.”

“It's uncomfortable. I don't know if it's scary, but it's uncomfortable, and it's not something that I look forward to, and I definitely feel a sense of relief when it's over. But there is an ugliness there. And what is scary is that there are a lot of angry people, people whose anger is directed in the wrong place, that you hear from continually, especially with the advent of social media. But there's also the good old U.S. mail that you receive a lot of nastiness and threats and wishes for bad things to happen to you and your family. And that I just, you know, I don't understand because there are a lot of people I disagree with, but I do recognize when somebody, when they say something and I realize that they have nothing to gain by saying it, it's just something that they believe. I mean, this is not, I don't, in fact, not only do I have nothing to gain personally by talking about this stuff.”

“the idea that you could be on the no fly list and still own a gun is just that's it in a nutshell I mean it's literally a nutshell because it's nuts I mean the fact that that can happen and this is something that I think Donald Trump even spoke about when he was running for president you know occasionally he has a moment of common sense and he said”

“That is a level of empathy that you have that I think most people don't. And I don't think you can fault people as a group for having short attention spans. We do, but we also have to do our best to remind each other. You know, there are people who in your community who lost their lives, who lost their children in Las Vegas, who lost their lives, who lost their children, who lost their parents, and who are going to think about this every day, maybe all day for the rest of their lives. I mean, people's lives are ruined for no good reason. We have enough pain in the world. There are enough things we can't control. There are accidents and disease and all these things that we work so hard to fight. We have so many people trying to find a cure for cancer, and we have the cure for this stuff. We just choose not to use it.”

“I wrote that myself and some of it was just me speaking, but I woke up that morning and I found out what happened in Las Vegas and it doesn't make any sense to me. And I don't think it makes sense to, I don't even think it makes sense to the people who are trying to sell you guns. I think they know that it's wrong. I think that they know it, but they just don't want to open that dam. They don't want to give at all because it will cost them money. And I think that's It's evil is what it is. And for something like that to happen to your hometown, I mean, it's always horrible when it happens no matter where it happens. But human nature dictates that the closer it is to you, the more you feel it. And I definitely felt it. And I have to say, it's very frustrating to me that all this time later, we still haven't done anything significant. Very little has happened to change.”

“Is okay, and I think it's something that other late night talk show hosts have done from time to time, and it's been very effective. And it's something that for me, I have a background in radio, so that was always part of my approach as an entertainer. It's just something that gets whittled out of a nightly talk show. It tends to be joke, joke, joke, joke, joke. And I think it's better, especially now that we have a lot of shows, that there's some variety there.”

“I think so. I think that I don't want to abuse my position. I know what my job is and my job for the most part is to entertain people and to make people laugh. And if I can be selfish every once in a while and talk about something that is important to me or that is serious, then I do want to take that opportunity. And I'm careful about not overdoing it because I think that if I do overdo it, it will hurt the overall message or my goal overall, which is primarily children's healthcare. So while there are a lot of things I feel strongly about, I do pick my battles, I guess. And, you know, 90% of the time I'll joke around, but some of the jokes aren't joking and some of the jokes I hope make people think. And then there will be times where I'm serious on the air, which I think.”

“I've always been religious and spiritually connected. I was raised Catholic and I was fortunate enough to go to a great church with a great priest to whom I'm very close to this day. And it's interesting because I think people assume because you're a comedian or because you're irreverent or whatever you want to call me that's not a part of your life, but it always has been and I learned a lot of good things from the church and from my parents I wouldn't say I've become more spiritual and more religious, but I've definitely, well, I guess I have. I've been praying a lot more, that's for sure. So yes, I guess is the answer.”

“Marketing tool in some way, but if you are a Christian and if you do believe in forget the specifics of whatever church you belong to, but the basic teachings of Jesus that you must take care of your neighbor. I mean, you have to do that, or else you cannot call yourself a Christian. And I hope that people who do call themselves Christians remember that every day continually.”
