“The great joy of doing 'The Daily Show' for me is that I get to sit on the fence between cultures. I am commenting on the absurdity of both sides as an outsider and insider. Sometimes I'm playing the brown guy, and sometimes I'm not, but the best stuff I do always goes back to being a brown kid in a white world.” WorldSometimesShowsKidsJoyGuyCultureStuffSidesWhiteBrownOutsidersAbsurdityFenceBoth SidesGreat JoyInsidersDaily Show Author:Aasif Mandvi

“[I]n my country, when they would say a man has no sense, they say, such an one has no memory; and when I complain of the defect of mine, they do not believe me, and reprove me, as though I accused myself for a fool: not discerning the difference betwixt memory and understanding, which is to make matters still worse for me. But they do me wrong; for experience, rather, daily shows us, on the contrary, that a strong memory is commonly coupled with infirm judgment.” MenBelieveStillsCountryMatterShowsStrongUnderstandingDifferencesMemoriesMinesFoolJudgmentContraryComplainingBelieve In MeDefectsAccusedDiscerningNo MemoryDaily Show Book:Delphi Complete Works of Michel de Montaigne (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Michel de Montaigne (Illustrated)
