“I was in New York when Clinton was elected the first time, and everyone I knew was in a state of mad euphoria. I wondered what had happened to my hard-headed friends? Almost everyone I knew was drunk on this great white hope. The next time I was in New York, no one had a good word to say about Clinton, but everyone was in love with Hillary. She was the last word. It's all so unreal. Of course, it's no different in England. Here everyone was besotted with Tony Blair. He was a new face.

“I think people fail to realize that teams and organizations have been stacking teams since way back in the day. The Lakers had the Showtime era. Boston had six hall of famers on one team. You had Detroit, the New York Knicks, and now the Miami Heat. They were stacking their teams back then, it just fell off over the years and now it picked back up. Boston did it first, then LA. I was fortunate enough to play against them when they had Shaq, Kobe, Rick Fox, Gary Payton, Karl Malone... that's five hall of famers on one team! So you can't get mad at Miami for doing what they did.” PeopleThinkingWayYearsFirstsHas BeensEnoughPlayRealizingFiveFailingTeamNew YorkSixOrganizationMadErasFortunateHeatHallsFoxesBostonDetroitMiamiGaryBack In The DayLakersKnicksShaqShowtimeStackingMiami Heat Author:Carmelo Anthony

“For the three years I lived in New York leading up to moving out to Los Angeles for 'Mad Men,' I was an office temp at Ernst & Young in Times Square. That's about as desk-jobby as it can get.

“Well I've made no secret of my life long love of MAD Magazine, it's probably my first and greatest influence in terms of my comic sensibilities. I've known John [Ficarra] for many years, and we've been friends. About four or five months ago, at a dinner in New York, John made the very nice offer of my being guest editor for an issue of MAD and I thought about it for about half a nanosecond and decided that was a pretty good idea.” YearsFirstsWellsLongMadeIdeasTermSecretHalfKnownIssuesFiveFourNiceInfluenceNew YorkMonthsOffersDecidedMadDinnerMagazinesComicEditorsGood IdeasGuestsSensibilityLong LifeVery NiceLong Love Author:Al Yankovic
