We Used To Get 27, 28 Minutes To Do A Story In, And Now They're Lucky If They Get 18 Or 20 Minutes. So I Don't Think They Can Really Do A Beginning, A Middle, And An End Anymore. There's An Awful Lot Of One-line Jokes; Almost Every Line Is A Punchline. It's Not The Same, But There's Still Good Comedy Around.
