When I turn on an AWARD SHOW, I don't want to be lectured about POLITICS, CLIMATE change or the NRA or a left-wing issue or a right-wing issue.

The Heisman TROPHY equivalent in collegiate wrestling is named the Dan Hodge AWARD, which illustrates just how Dan is PERCEIVED WITHIN that CULTURE.

For every stand-up COMEDIAN, Just for Laughs is our Super Bowl. Every comic in the world GOES to Just for Laughs in Montreal. And they PRESENTED me with the Stand-Up Comedian of the YEAR award for 2018. This is my OSCAR; this is my Emmy. That's my baby now.

My EARLIER AWARD was ALSO BASED on a close collaborative effort.

If you wanna GIVE me an AWARD, I'll TAKE it. Just don't make me go to the PARTY afterwards.

I don't KNOW if this is a stumbling block, but I had a REAL setback when I won a Nebula Award for the first story I ever had nominated for a Nebula in 1982. And you might think that was a good thing - and it was a wonderful thing, I don't regret it a BIT. But I was SORT of discombobulated by it.

Robert Pattinson is an incredibly GIFTED actor. EVERY ROLE that Pattinson plays is a contender for an acting AWARD.

In college I received the BEST Actor AWARD for FOUR consecutive YEARS under Calicut University.

Saying Kaepernick is a DISTRACTION is based largely on opinion. You could say his decision to kneel for the national anthem was detrimental to the TEAM. If that is so, I would HOPE you'd note that Kaepernick's TEAMMATES gave him the Len Eshmont Award at the end of the season.

It's incredible to WIN an individual award in a team sport and ALSO one where EVERYBODY WANTS to be able to SAY, 'I'm the best.'
