The First Thing You've Got To Do

Nixon's Genius Was That He Was Able To Portray Himself As The Toughest Of The Anti-communists, And Yet Run On A Platform That He Had A Plan To End The Vietnam War. And, Of Course, His Plan Was To Prolong It Until His Second Election - But He Didn't Tell Us That Then.

To Do Then Now Would Be Retro. To Do Then Then Was Very Now-tro, If You Will.

I've Got An Odd, Negative Bond With C. Montgomery Burns. He Reminds A Lot Of People Of Bosses They've Worked For. He Certainly Reminds Me Of Someone I'm Working For.

I've Been Doing Nixon Pretty Much My Whole Professional Life. I Was In This Comedy Group Called The Credibility Gap In Los Angeles When He Was President. I Was Doing Nixon On The Radio, And When We Did Live Shows I Physicalized Him - If That's A Word - For The First Time. And Then I Did A Nixon Sketch On A Very Short-lived Nbc Show Called Sunday Best.

When Nixon Died, On My Radio Show I Started Doing Sketches With Three Basic Conceits: One, There's A Place Called Heaven. Two, Nixon Got In. And Three, He's Still Taping.
