“I loved 'Beakman's World' growing up. As much as I loved 'Bill Nye,' I...” — Adam Conover Quote

I loved 'Beakman's World' growing up. As much as I loved 'Bill Nye,' I always preferred 'Beakman's World' because I thought it was funnier.

Late 19th-century America was basically a plutocratic enterprise while people toiled in mines and died of coal dust poisoning.

I think people are better for having learned, even if they aren't happier.

I think that people are more eager to learn about food than almost every other topic.

People are so quick to demonize and stereotype those on the other side that they often say that it's impossible to work with people on the other side.

I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.

Actually, I think I'm funnier off-camera.

I'm never funnier than when I'm heartbroken or terrified.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist, I think, so I always think 'Oh, I could have done that better. If only I'd slept better! I'm sure I can be funnier than this! I'm sure this could be funnier!' I'm always thinking that!
