At it’s best, comedy delivers the truth. Sometimes that honesty goes down smooth and sometimes it has a bite but it should always be undeniable and funny. If my comedy had a crest it would have the world “truth” and “smooth” on it. In Latin, of course. (Note to...

Cruise ships are more fun than I remember. Of course I’m still just working out and going to the coffee shop, like I do at home (or anywhere else in the world). I’ve turned this floating city into my mobile headquarters. There’s something cool about running things...
