The Saturday Night Livethat I hosted was such a gay-heavy show. But it didn’t even cross my mind until after.

I said, How many times does anyone ask, ‘You had to shoot somebody. Was that weird?’ I love gay guys. I feel pretty gay. I’m certainly not the most macho guy in the room.” – Paul Rudd [World of Wonder]
