TOM BERGERON

I don't mind talking about my two daughters, but I don't feel comfortable denying them their privacy.

Particularly with live TV, I have a really good time reacting in the moment to things that are going on around me. I try to think of the viewers' perspective too.

When a contestant actually loses consciousness, I think that's a good sign.

I'm responsible for what I am and what I want to be. I'm not trying to live by another's standards.

I actually feel, in a lot of ways, that I'm in better shape than I was when I was 30.

Be. Here. NOW. Don't forget to breathe. When all else fails, grab a clown nose.

When I had people scratchin' my shorts a bit, it played better. We lost a bit of that in all the personnel changes and it's an element we need to get back.

I'd like to have a drink with Bill Maher and see how he feels. We were too conservative coming over to Fox from fX, and got ourselves off our best game.

I tried to steer the student newspaper toward more pertinent information instead of the usual gossip and bull.

I love working with smart-funny people.

I'm not a big raised stage fan.

I tend to pick on the people I'm closest with because I know they know it's not personal.

We're improvising a lot of this, which amazes people.

My natural-born sarcasm, when it's unimpeded, can be a bit overbearing at times and I'm the first to admit that.

Some people come in and really freak. There's movement everywhere, even a dancing housekeeper!

I would think anyone who does anything is always concerned about their customers.

I studied and performed and even taught mime years ago.

I work best when people are here to puncture me.

I'm a liberal Democrat, and I state that proudly.

What possibilities exist here? What is presenting itself to me IN THIS MOMENT that I can use? In a very real sense, it's meditation in motion, the practical application of an esoteric practice. And it relies on the acceptance of serendipity. Serendipity, the effect of accidentally discovering something fortunate

Humor requires perspective. Perspective requires focus. Focus requires balance. Balance requires attention to the present moment. In the 'now' one is freed from labels. Success and failure, good luck and bad—they're all constructs of your mind.

When a contestant actually loses consciousness, I think that's a good sign.

People see me on TV and I'm this calm, level headed guy. Honestly, that's the furthest thing from who I am. For a long time I struggled with anger and stress. It was killing me, figuratively and literally.
