I’m of the ilk that believes there’s never a time when jokes aren’t funny, it just has to be funny enough. There’s been some evidence in my joke past that I will go after anything. [] But I’m definitely not going to be like, "These are my coronavirus jokes." I’ll see how this pans out and let it inform how I tell the jokes that I was already telling.
Do you find yourself taking more of a beat before telling a joke on a podcast or hitting publish on a tweet? I’m not doing too many jokes on Twitter or Instagram, and I’m certainly not going on Instagram Live unless I’m a guest on someone else’s thing. I don’t feel the need to perform right now.

And in general, one of the reasons that I rarely post jokes on Twitter and Instagram anymore is that it can get taken so out of context.

I bought Pirate's Booty, which I always love. I couldn’t be more stereotypically girly in that sense. We're making a lot of cheese plates. And I’m trying to cook new things. I made this kale and carrot ginger salad yesterday, and Dave was very funny to point out that it’s hilarious that I’m using a carrot ginger dressing — could not be more aptly my dressing. I also realize I’m absolutely ill-equipped to shop for a pandemic.
