I've always been part of comedy. One of the things about our family was that if we were reasonably funny with each other, particularly my two brothers and myself, when my father was upset with something you'd want to make sure in some way you made him laugh.

When I say something funny in a newspaper and I meant it to be funny, it doesn't read that way. Michael Buble canadiancandiddark share on social
