Monologue: Robert De Niro

  • “Some people say, ‘Oh, live TV, aren't you scared?’ I'll be honest with you. No. Some people say that drama's easy and comedy's hard. Not true. I've been making comedies the last couple of years and it's been nice. When you make a drama, you spend all day beating a guy to death with a hammer or what have you - or you have to bite a chunk out of somebody's face. On the other hand, with a comedy, you yell at Billy Crystal for an hour and you go home.”
