All my jobs have been with food in one way or another since 1948. My parents were in the hotel business, and I just loved the warm hearted people who worked so hard with such good humor.

My family has been amazing, and they understand how blessed I am. They've been able to keep my sense of humor.

Humor was not important only for me, humor was important for this nation for centuries, to survive, you know.

Good humor isn't a trait of character, it is an art which requires practice.

At NBC I wasn't really sure if the grandparents were going to get my sense of humor on a particular topic.
