I really don't have a need to be on TV all that much, to be honest with you.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
When most people become president, even if you disagree with their ideology, you can still agree that they would have the competence to run something... With Trump, I do not have the confidence of that at all.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
You never want to defend a joke. People get to choose whether or not to laugh and whether or not they think something is funny.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I don't think I ever intend to provoke outrage, but I don't mind being provocative in content.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
My white counterparts are always pushing the line, and they are fearless, so why can't I do that, too?
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
Any voting group has an interest that they want from politicians. That's why politicians have to talk to different people. But to reduce the black interest to free stuff is so insulting. It just makes me apoplectic.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I always said I'm not disappointed with Obama because I voted for him because he was black, and as long as he kept being black, I was a happy man.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
As long as you say I'm the guy who's real about it, I have no problem being the person who people look to to talk about race.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
You never know in TV - sometimes you're on at the wrong time at the wrong place. Sometimes you don't get a chance to catch on.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I'm actually a big fan of having all the different types of voices on television. I think it gives people a nice little buffet that they can just pick and choose how they want to get their news and entertainment, I guess.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I'd love to set up shop somewhere and develop projects - film, TV, digital would be a fun thing to do.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
All writers have a love-hate relationship with writing. Performing is fun, too, but I wouldn't say it's my favorite. But the most fulfilling is producing.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
The thing that's worked for me is having as much of a connection to the material as possible. And sometimes the material requires a more straightforward approach, and sometimes it requires a little more silliness, you know?
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I have this rule. It's called 'Top Dog-Underdog:' Underdog gets to make fun of Top Dog, but Top Dog can't make fun of Underdog. But you know what? You get Top Dog, you get to be Top Dog. Congratulations! And that dynamic happens not just in race but in many different ways. It's like the male-female dynamic.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
Maybe I'll write an episode of 'Black-ish' about a guy being fired in late-night.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I like 'The Nightly Show.' People ask me what it is, and I say, 'If you're watching 'The Daily Show,' and it feels like it's getting a little darker, you're probably watching 'The Nightly Show.''
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
My joke is that three black people watch 'The Daily Show' at any given time. So if I'm watching it, that counts, and there's only two left. It's a silly joke, but you know, different types of comedy reach different cultures.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
We will see about Obama's legacy. I still think the historical nature of his candidacy will be the biggest part of his legacy.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
You are always, always overwhelmed by positive response because you know it can go either way.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I'd rather go after the people who are the guardians or what we're doing - the news people and the politicians and that sort of thing. I always feel like those should be my targets, not really entertainers. That's just my personal opinion.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
It's really not my thing to go after what comedians are doing. Because I always feel like we're jesters at the end of the day.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
People aren't autonomous creatures. They're under a lot of pressure themselves.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I'm not going to grouse and complain when there's nothing I can do about it. Once you've broken up with somebody, arguing with them is not going to bring them back. You may want to stop their Twitter account or call them up late at night, but they made the decision to leave.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
It was the Cosby issue that made me realize how much I really cared about women's issues and how much I realize it's important for me to be an advocate for issues that aren't necessarily my own, to be an ally for issues.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
The fact that we live in a world where black people have to strategize so they're not brutalized by police is insane.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
It used to be that the black comic figure had to have this bravado and always showed strength.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I don't have that kind of Southern experience of the fire-and-brimstone preacher type of thing. Certainly not in my comedy.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I was an athlete, so I hung out with the jocks. I was smart, so I hung out with the nerdy kids. I was also into theater, so I hung out with the misfits... So I was always in different groups, and those groups never quite overlapped. The racial part of it was just another one of those groups, in one sense.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I'm not a homosexual, but if I can be an ally for that issue, I think it's fantastic.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
My father was in law enforcement growing up. He was a probation officer. And I've always understood the point of view of the peace officer, you know, because of my dad.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I'm too tired most of the time. Why do I have to take a stand on everything? Sometimes, I'm just not mad at it.
Quote by -Larry Wilmore
I'm not trying to prove anything for the right or the left. Which gives me freedom to make jokes about either side, too.
