• I don't think it's unfair to have writers. I think if you're going to do a roast on television, as if you were doing a play or you were reading a script of a movie, you would have the best possible material. And those are the people who score, the people who are willing to listen to the roasting experts and then come out there and own that material.

• In Boston where community policing is so important, they don't necessarily have to like each other, but they know each other.

And I think these things help.
