Scott Aukerman Quotations

After the comedy boom of the '80s, there was a certain formula that comedians had to do and could do in order to be successful touring comedians, and those were mainly observational comedians who had a very strict structure of what made an act, and I think it was very performance oriented.

When I was growing up, I wanted to do Letterman and I loved that live, in-studio model. I still would do something like that.

What I love about comedy is breaking down the barrier between the audience and the performer.

There's definitely something about the structure of 'Caddyshack' that is unique that no one has ever been able to achieve since then.

Most of the stuff I've written has never even gotten made. It's par for the course. It's a great living, but it also gets very frustrating.

If you look at Earwolf, we've tried to have a really diverse stable of hosts. Even my show can get a little 'dudey' sometimes.

I look back on our productivity in the 'Mr. Show' days, and think, 'We probably could have worked harder.'

I came to one of the first Comic Cons in 1985, when it was just people trading back issues of comic books.

Comedy is really best when watched with other people, and I don't really understand people who sit at home watching comedy movies on Netflix.

I have new bodyguards ever since I got a TV show. I didn't know, but it's a lot like becoming president. They tell you every single secret, like who shot JFK. When you have a TV show, they not only tell you who shot JFK, but they assign you bodyguards.
