– Removes power
For 65-year-old, it is important that we manage to get people to laugh at something that’s scary.
– How as terrorism. When people begin to laugh at crazy dictators and the like, then it takes away their power – a little at a time. During World War II made Charlie Chaplin a grade of Adolf Hitler, and suddenly laughed the whole world of him. Humor can help to remove power.
– Are there any topics or people you do not messing with?
– You notice it quickly the audience what one can mess with and what one should let lie in peace. In the aftermath of September 11. I remember that we are not joking with what had happened, but after two months I said to the audience: “If you do not laugh at the next joke, it means that the terrorists have won,” and when I got good response, chuckling Leno.

I like therefore that the Nobel Committee chose a small group of a few countries that had managed to find on a map. The group that we now honor is a fine example of that word can be used to stop the war, he says and continues:
– I have the belief that we can experience peace on our planet, but it will probably always be something there. But there are positive things like this that give me hope for a brighter future.
