(On opening for Adam Sandler in 1996)Allen Covert: Not only was it nerve-wracking standing up in front of 15,000 fans who didn't know who I was, but I get stage fright, very badly. I would pace back and forth behind the curtains going 'Oh g-d, oh g-d, I hope they like me' and the man working the curtain would literally say back to me 'they're gonna love you, you're going to kill them'.
(On working with Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson)Allen Covert: Well, you know we write what we know. And our main focus is always jokes, making it as funny as possible. Anger Management, so funny. And Nicholson is so funny this time, pure funny pure comedy. And he really cares, like he would call us everyday and say 'I was reading the script again and I was thinking of this…'
Allen Covert(reference to the Wedding Singer): I was a walking ad for the 80s. I had shoulder pads, sleeveless shirts, mesh, parachute pants, pinkie rings, earrings -- any crazy thing anyone ever saw in the 80s, they gave to me!
