“I want my jokes to be at a higher level. I want jokes with premises that really tap into something. Carlin did something where he really made people aware of political issues and environmental issues while making people laugh at themselves. He was calling people out on their stupidity in a way that made them laugh about it. That’s a skill. I would like to get there. It doesn’t have to be environmental. I am vegan, so I would like to do some animal rights jokes, but it would be more about the suppression in society.I would like to somehow take those serious issues and make people laugh about it.”

Ted Danson

Ted Danson has said that although he considers himself an environmentalist, you shouldn’t look to him as a role model for vegetarianism.

“Oh yeah, no, I’m an actor,” Danson told GQ magazine. “Which means one week I’m vegan, the next I don’t know.”

It appears he’s back to a vegan diet again, but the meat items provided by catering on the set of CSI may have him saying, “I don’t know” shortly.
