I'll just say that there are times when TV shows, like 'The Honeymooners' or 'I LOVE Lucy' or something, where they're TOTALLY in their stride, and this thing happens, where you can tell they got everything they wanted. And it STARTS to look a little relaxed. No CRITICISM to the shows whatsoever; these PEOPLE are geniuses.

I didn't GET on a plane until I was 23, after I left Oxford and was TEACHING at Lucy Clayton Secretarial COLLEGE in London.

If I were a DAD, I'd have my KIDS WATCH 'I LOVE Lucy' and 'The Honeymooners.'

I remember WATCHING 'I LOVE Lucy' from an EARLY age, 'Laverne & Shirley.'

For Lennon and me, we GREW up with Laverne and Shirley or Lucy and Ethel. For us, those are our inspirations. And I think Amy Poehler and Tina Fey LED the way for us to be fearless in the way we kept shoving our MESSAGE and our comedy voice down PEOPLE's throats until they listened.

The SONG 'Leroy and Lanisha' on my ALBUM 'The EPIC' is REALLY my HOMAGE to 'Linus and Lucy.'

Why does 'I LOVE Lucy' STILL make people laugh? Because she's a specific character who has REAL reactions.
