Morgan Freeman thinks the whole idea of a month for black history is “ridiculous.”

Television often celebrates Black History Month with showings of his films, but Morgan Freeman thinks the whole idea of a month for black history is “ridiculous.”

Your contract goes through 2008. How do you think people will be watching the show then?
Stewart: Through their nipples. I believe the show will come in through one nipple and will be broadcast out the other through some sort of projection device.
Karlin: And if you have three nipples, you’re basically walking high definition.
Stewart: No, listen. We make the doughnuts; we don’t drive the truck. I have no idea. I assume there are people in white lab coats working on that very thing. And I’m sure at some point it will be in liquid form.
