Adam Conover

The Daily Show' was really a turning point, where people started to realize that comedy can have a true cultural impact and can have something to say that is serious.

I consider myself to be doing comedy in a post-Jon Stewart world to a certain extent.

I think the best comedy enlightens, informs, and changes the way people look at the world.

It's one thing to make people laugh, but after a certain point, comedy is almost cheap.

Doing a format parody is one of my favorite things to do in comedy.

On 'Adam Ruins Everything' we do the broadest sketch comedy possible. We do stuff where you can see it immediately and know it's a joke - characters in big silly costumes; here's Uncle Sam and he's twiddling his fingers saying, 'Oh, I'm naughty.'

One of my favorite things about sketch comedy is doing parodies and music videos.

I am not an educator and I'm not a journalist. I am a comedian. But I do truly believe that the point of comedy is to make the world around one better.

As a comedian, I am attracted to truths that are uncomfortable. I like funny bummers.

I can't think of another place other than TV where a five-person sketch comedy group could make a living.

Comedy has no rules, per se.

Into the Breach' is a wonderful strategy game where you play that you are trying to stop an alien invasion. But of course, 'Zelda: Breath of the Wild' and 'Super Mario Odyssey' are just two of the most superlative games ever made, and so when I have time to completely lose myself in those, it's really, really a joy.
