Known for his extreme delivery and extreme materials, standup comedian Greg Giraldo became well-known because of his regular performances in The Howard Stern Display, The Late Display with David Letterman, as well as the Comedy Central tv network’s group of celebrity roasts. Before he roasted people like Chevy Run after, Pam Anderson, and William Shatner, Giraldo was a normal panelist on Humor Central’s Tough Group with Colin Quinn. Besides developing and starring in his very own sitcom — Common Rules, which lasted one period in 1996 — and his many talk show performances, Giraldo continues to be highlighted in two Humor Central Presents special deals — one in 2000, another in 2004. Also in 2004, he made an appearance on Lazyboy’s “Underwear Runs Inside the Jeans,” a global strike that topped digital electronica graphs. In 2006 he released his debut record, Good Time to Combination a River, on Humor Central’s record label. Midlife Vices implemented in ’09 2009.

The hardest part, for real, is probably when you just don't feel like going on stage and being funny.
2
The things that make me laugh are considered smart or whatever, I guess. But stuff that's self-consciously intelligent or self-consciously hip or cool, that doesn't do it for me either. You just try to be funny.
3
The reality is I'm not this person with this driving 'get it done' attitude.
4
The reality is I'm not a 'get knocked down and come back harder' kind of guy.

Why do we need another station where everyone has a gun? We already have BET.
6
Some people are just really goofy kind of guitar acts, and they go out and do these colleges and start making a fortune pretty early on. And other people - I know guys who are great comics, who've done the Letterman show many times, who still barely pay their bills.

If you spend five minutes with me or watch me try to balance my checkbook, you can only imagine the disaster I would make of anyone's legal issues.
8
There are no black people in Iraq, so how will they know who to shoot at?

Little did I know that earning a living at stand-up is the hardest thing you can do. But once I started doing it, I just loved it, and I realized that I was actually kinda good at it, and then that was it.
10
I've always had real trouble knowing what my actual desires and goals are. I've just been dragged along by fate.
11
It's hard to distinguish when I was actually struggling from when I only felt like I was struggling - which was pretty much always.
