We all understand that the country is on the brink of war and may be sending American men and women into harm's way almost as we speak. We must prepare for the show to be produced under these circumstances.

Jon is the epitome of a perfect host - smart, engaging, irreverent and funny.

Jon knows the difference of being irreverent without being impolite. This is not a political show. I think he understands that.

My art is my activism.

I am sorry that during the excitement of a 'live 3 hour television event' the wonderful film piece we prepared that paid tribute to the 'Carol Burnett Show' was not aired.

If you are a betting man, the show will go on, really and truly.

We all want to do the show. The public wants it, the stars want it. But we're all good Americans, so we'll try to [make it] a show that we can be proud of.

It's a great move.

We hope that everyone involved will understand that this change is being made in response to the critical situation in the Middle East and will help us make these changes work.
