Zitat des Tages von Jason Jones:
Every field piece I did on 'The Daily Show' was a story that lasted five to six minutes. We had a protagonist, we had an antagonist and often put them at odds. We knew the story we wanted to tell before we went in, and often it was about plugging whatever character you have - in this case, a real person - into said part.
Real life doesn't exist on a network television comedy. They just don't let you travel down any road that is presumably 'dark.'
Kids are appendages on so many family sitcoms. They'll come in, they'll make half a joke, and then they're like, 'OK, gotta go to school,' or 'I'm going to my room.' And then you never see them again.
It's just not good to put stock in a Hollywood celebrity.
I can only speak for myself, but you never set out to be funny. You just set out to play the scenes real, and hopefully the funny comes.
People feel really uncomfortable when there's silence.
Everything that I write about is a kernel of something that probably happened to me or one of my writers that I've co-opted and made it seem like it's mine.
Who doesn't want to be in the pictures?
Network was just never the right fit with what I think is funny.
