In my experience, it's not just that serious books get a hearing on comedy shows. But serious books get a serious hearing, as well as a funny one, on comedy shows.

Michael Mandelbaum

Usually, comedy shows only influence other comedy shows. 'M*A*S*H' is one of the few comedies that influenced dramatic shows as well.

Alan Alda

I feel mindless comedies make you relax - there are times when I come from shooting and watch comedy shows; they really change my mood.

Anita Hassanandani Reddy

I'm not a comedy guy. I don't do comedy shows.

Ashley Walters

It's like cooks don't watch cooking programmes - I suppose maybe comedians don't watch comedy shows.

Bob Mortimer

I've now done virtually everything there is to do in TV presenting: I've done sport shows, comedy shows, and I'm now doing music, which is great for me.

Caroline Flack

I was drafted and went to Korea where I had an opportunity to create a production team that did dramatic and comedy shows. I had also done a little disc jockeying.

Casey Kasem

When I was little, I had this old video camera, and I set it up, and I would pretend that I was on comedy shows and soap operas and things like that.

Christina Grimmie

I do find myself surprised by the comedy shows that seem to have the same joke week in week out.

Clive Anderson

I suppose the best comedy shows do have the rock n' roll feeling - if it's a great night, and the roof is raised... yeah, it's a similar feeling, sure.

Dylan Moran

I don't look at certain things on TV anymore. I don't listen to certain music anymore. I make sure my kids don't listen to it. It's funny because back in the days I could look at comedy shows and all kind of stuff and you didn't even realize how much cursing it had in it.

Ginuwine

I'm often asked for advice on how to go about making comedy shows like the begrudgingly accepted 'IT Crowd'.

Graham Linehan

In a lot of comedy shows, there's a safety net where you don't assume anything of real consequence will happen.

Hiro Murai

There's no excuse for panel games, other TV comedy shows, or even live bills to be made up mainly of men.

James Acaster

So my humor, I'd say, comes from a mixture of lowbrow comedy shows and highbrow theater. It's an interesting mix.

Jasper Fforde

I like watching comedy shows. I only watch comedy or action.

Jennifer Winget

I want to see good-quality comedy shows, not the slapstick ones or where people imitate others.

Jennifer Winget

More people are going out to comedy shows than they were before.

Jimmy Carr

Half-hour comedy shows are like a play, one night a week.

Luke Perry

The kinds of shows that seem to work now, the comedy shows, are those which require very little attention. They're superficial and I like articulate comedy.

Mary Tyler Moore

In my experience, it's not just that serious books get a hearing on comedy shows. But serious books get a serious hearing, as well as a funny one, on comedy shows.
