Comedy Quotes

Johnny Galecki

I think it's great some hotels provide stationery. Because the first thing I like to do when I get to a hotel room is write a letter.

It is because I miss thee so much, darling, I accidentally ordered Sorrority Sisters 7."

It's really not that hard. If I do a Tonight Show, it's six or seven minutes. If I do a concert, it's 90 minutes. If I do an interview, that's 15 minutes. So by the end of the day I've done three hours worth of work.
