Quote by Adam Carolla

If Joy Behar or Sherri Shepherd was a dude, they'd be off TV. They're not funny enough for dudes. What if Roseanne Barr was a dude? Think we'd know who she was?

Summary

This quote suggests that female comedians like Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd, and Roseanne Barr might not receive as much recognition or success if they were men. The quote implies a double standard in the entertainment industry, implying that men are perceived as funnier than women, and therefore female comedians are not given the same opportunities. It invites reflection on the potential gender bias that exists in the field of comedy and highlights the importance of recognizing and challenging such biases.

There is a sort of veteran woman of condition, who, having lived always in the grand monde, and having possibly had some gallantries, together with the experience of five and twenty or thirty years, form a young fellow better than all the rules that can be given him. Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends; which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties as to your behavior; but take great care not to drop one word of their experience; for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.

Comedy was why I got into acting the first place. Peter Sellers was a huge influence on my wanting to act. I grew up with him and found him hysterical. The Pink Panther films were an inspiration, from my earliest childhood days, when I was watching them with my brother and my dad.
