Impossible to breathe in this thing.

I had a whole bit with this where I was going to show up and say, if you just dress like Dilbert, you get past security and then tell people horrible things like, do you want to see my knife?

But we're going to put this aside.

Thank you so much for letting me have a chance to honor Scott.

He is just an amazing person.

It's hard to find the words, especially for someone who's

job it was to find words that so many others of us had difficulty finding for ourselves.

I remember when Scott was on my show and I was the hundredth person to ask him what Garfield was like in real life.

And rather than getting annoyed, he just kind of rolled his eyes and went with it.

And a clip just recently surfaced this week, because I'd forgotten, and this part is true.

When I had him another time on my show, I said, the worst thing, in my opinion, by getting older is people start dying.

And I asked him about that, and he talked about how he was expecting, you know, he's going to outlive a lot of other people.

A few times when Scott was wrong.

And the sad thing about getting older and people dying, it's never the ones you want.

I mean, I'm not saying I have a list.

But I am saying I could make a list.

And I think everyone else in this audience could as well.

One of the most frustrating things about working on the internet and in media is how negative and nasty it has been and how much worse it's getting.

And that's never gotten to Scott.

You always had this air of happiness and being upbeat.
