FM: So is she going to stick around?

JK: I don't know--she may recur.

FM: Who do you think is funny that doesn't know that they're funny?

JK: Dick Albert--is that his name? Do you watch the local news? Probably not. There's a weatherman who cracks me up. He's so happy, no matter what's going on in the world or his life. You'll enjoy his work--really, he seems like the most one of the happiest people in the world, you know?

FM: Do you think he really is?

JK: He might be. You know, when I was going to college, there was this 12-year-old perfect master, a guru, in India, and people flocked to him to learn the truth from this guy. I think this guy Dick Albert is such a person that he has some kind of inner wisdom that he could share with all of us. But for now, it's just the forecast.

FM: When are or were your 15 minutes?

JK: You mean my 15 minutes of animation.

FM: Or fame.

JK: You know, I think they've been distributed very evenly over the last 50 years, or unevenly I should say. I don't know--maybe in 1995 when I got so much attention for the show, Dr. Katz, but it could have been my debut on the Letterman show in 1985--that was very exciting. But Dr. Katz is doing much better than Jonathan Katz ever did in terms of fame.

FM: (interrupts) So when you go to Star Market...

JK: Yeah, when I was on the Letterman show and I went out the next day, I would stare at people probably a little too long giving them the opportunity to recognize me. I know what you're thinking..."Yes, you did see me on television last night...I was funny, yeah." But Dr. Katz is well known in many countries around the world.

FM: Really? Do they translate it?

JK: Probably.

FM: In Japanese?
