“Christmas is a stocking stuffed with sugary goodness.” — Mo Rocca Quote

Christmas is a stocking stuffed with sugary goodness.

Honestly we never lied to people about who we were. Usually the wackier interviews came to pass because the interview subjects, aware that we were Comedy Central, just wanted to get their stories out.

Something that came as a shock to me is that we do not have a constitutional right to vote. And that's not just a fun little historical factoid. It actually has huge ramifications. It's the reason our system is so decentralized - in other words, chaotic.

When it comes to war, we focus more on the mainstream coverage of the event, rather than the event itself. People dying is never funny. Protest puppets are always funny.

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.

Every Christmas Eve, we used to listen to evensong live from King's College chapel in Cambridge, and I'm almost ashamed to admit that it was my geeky fantasy to be chosen to perform the opening solo verse of 'Once In Royal David's City.'

I realised that you could easily turn any room into a cinema with a projector, so I went on and on at my parents for one. They eventually got me a projector for Christmas when I was ten, and I realised I'd made a ridiculous mistake - I'd forgotten to say 'movie' projector; I got a still one.

My early business ventures included growing Christmas trees and breeding birds.
