[edit] Quotes
(when playing a fireman on Thank God You're Here, he's asked about fireman being seen as heroes): "Thank you very much. Where do I start? I guess I got into the heroism game at a very young age. My parents were both very supportive. You know, I'm just a normal guy. I don't want you to think that I'm some huge hero. Yes, I guess I go above and beyond the call of duty...and I'm not too bad at the karaoke either. I'm bringing sexy back, yeah! Them other boys don't know how to act, yeah!"
(when dressed as a 19th Century English explorer on Thank God You're Here, he's asked where he's been): "I just got back from a meeting with the Queen herself...and she is one saucy bitch."
(About his costume) "I'm going late 2005, I remember it like it was yesterday."
(when dressed as a nun on Thank God You're Here, he's asked what his name is): "I'm Sister Beyonce... the jiggy. Holla!"
(when dressed as a superhero) "I am Reptilo, and I am able to regrow limbs once cut off, shall I demonstrate for you?"
