"I am a great believer that what makes our show different is the humor"
About this Quote
The phrase "what makes our show different" quietly admits the opposite fear: that the show could be mistaken for a dozen others. Williams answers that anxiety with something broad but powerful. Humor is an easy word that carries hard work inside it. It signals timing, chemistry, a writers room ethos, and a promise that even heavy material will be metabolized into something watchable. If the show has crime, tragedy, or melodrama in its DNA, this line is a preemptive reassurance: yes, there are stakes, but you wont drown in them.
The subtext also reads like a defense of craft. Humor is often treated as garnish; Williams positions it as structure, the thing that sets pace and viewpoint. Coming from an actor, its a subtle flex: comedy isnt accidental. Its performance at a higher difficulty setting, requiring precision and generosity. He is not just describing the show; he is teaching the audience how to watch it, inviting them to value the lightness as the point, not the distraction.
