“No one comes to New York and says 'We've got to check out Times Square and Spa Castle!'”

“I always enjoy the name game and the two-way mirror challenge.”

“Playing with my daughter, I sat down because I couldn't chase her anymore and she said, 'Please, Daddy. I love playing with you' and I couldn't catch my breath. I just couldn't. I was heaving, trying to catch my breath and looking at my adorable little girl with her puppy dog eyes pleading with her father to play.”

“The first thing we ever filmed was, we had to eat off people's plates, like we just walked over and took something. We thought we would get punched.”

“I would have gone crazy in a cubicle looking at spreadsheets.”

“I've done things I was miserable doing, and then I watched the episode and I'm proud of how fun and funny it is.”

“You know, Sal, for a long time would hate taking elevators with me. Because he knew when those doors closed I was going to do something stupid to embarrass him. So he'd opt to take the stairs a lot.”

“Unfortunately it does happen where some people just aren't willing to be on TV.”

“Literally, our show is friendship on display. It's not a written comedy show. It's not a reality show. It's just four friends making each other laugh. And who doesn't enjoy watching people enjoy their friends?”

“We thought why don't we just make ourselves the marks of the show. Have our three friends turn the screws on each of us and let the collateral embarrassment be the source of the comedy.”

“I get called Larry more than I get called Joe.”

“A broad idea appeals to everyone.”

“I didn't realize puppy mills were a problem until my wife, Bessy, and I got our first dog, Cannoli. Cannoli came from a puppy mill and she came with many health issues. It was after we got her that we researched and educated ourselves about the conditions dogs face in puppy mills.”

“Well, our first live show, for us it was the Gramercy.”

“I was at home with my family and have a house full of puppies, and my cousin mentioned that with all the stories I have about my dogs, it might be a cool opportunity to make a memoir of sorts.”

“We have fans in high school, all the way up to grandmas and 40-year-old housewives. College frat guys. It's all over the map.”

“Umm, if I could nose anybody... I guess over there it would be Ricky Gervais. He's a hero of mine. I consider him an idol, I love everything he does. So to be able to place my nose on such a Brit legend, that would be my pick.”

“There was one challenge where Murr took a guy's sock off his shoe and put it in his mouth. I couldn't believe he did that.”

“I was playing an Ikea employee one time and a guy asked me about an armoire, so I ran through the store and he and his lady started running after me, and we end up inside an armoire - literally. It was a lot of fun, but in the end the guy says, 'I can't be on your show. I'm married, and this isn't my wife.'”

“I would always drink iced teas and lemonades and sodas while filming. Now it's only water and coffee.”
