Never go for the punch line. There might be something funnier on the way.

When you're 89, dementia develops. I mean, I've told a story onstage, and I'm telling it with a full heart, and I forgot the damn punch line.

I'm not much for setup... punch line. I talk about my kids. I talk about my wife.

My greatest fear is that the audience will beat me to the punch line.

I'm kind of a nerd. A square. And I'm terrible at telling jokes. I always forget the punch line.

I've spent my fortune, tarnished my public view and made myself the brunt of punch line after punch line.
