How was your first week as an American?

"I haven't noticed tax breaks or any real changes."

The next night after the announcement, you took a pretty good shot at the president. Was that by design, to show people that you can't be bought by one White House dinner?

"I can't deny I was looking for a particularly strong joke that night about the president to make sure everyone knew I'm still me."

Do you wish you had a band?

"I don't care about a band. I used to think I needed a sidekick. But because I worked so long without one, I just talk to myself now. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I think the ridiculously small nature of our budget has helped in a strange way."

Would you change your show if you ever moved to 11:30?

"If I went 11:30, I wouldn't change much, so they would have to decide if they wanted this show at 11:30. You can't do 220 shows a year if you hate it. That's why Rosie quit."
