One hit can get the audience's faith back that a comedy can be good. They've been exposed to so many dire, bad half-hour shows that the expectation is that any half-hour comedy is going to be the same stale stuff we've seen. So there's a disinclination to sample them. (Quote by - Joe Keenan)

It's an attempt to do speaking opera. What I'm doing can work against the melodrama and the music, and parody the melodrama.

By expressing his heart, anger and joy, Richard Pryor took comedy to its highest form. (Quote by - Steve Martin)
Bob Saget was known, in the comedy clubs in those days, as extremely funny but with dark humor. It was always an inside joke among comics, when he got 'Full House,' it was, like, wow, he's playing this all-American dad kind of thing. That was not Bob Saget. His comedic style is definitely more twisted, and he has an edgier side than he showed in 'Full House'. (Quote by - Bob Saget)

I like bringing comedy to musicals. That's what's so much fun about this show, because the writers are so based in comedy. I've been able to make it dance and sing ? and keep building things ? in a way they're not used to. For me to be able to get people to laugh in dance is huge because it doesn't always happen. (Quote by - Casey Nicholaw)

For comedy to be good, it has to be played straight. And again, the greatest example of this is Lucy Ball. No matter how wild the shows were that we did, no matter how bizarre the situations were, they were never played as if they were funny. They were played like serious incidents of ordinary everyday life. And that's why they are terribly funny and are still considered classic comedies. (Quote by - Gale Gordon)
