"I have a very warm spot in my heart for Vegas"
About this Quote
Anderson’s comedy often worked through softness as armor. He played the big, gentle guy who could make you laugh and then, almost sneakily, make you feel something. That’s the subtext here: Vegas isn’t just a destination, it’s an emotional setting for people who need permission to be messy. A “warm spot” suggests refuge rather than conquest, the opposite of the typical Vegas brag. It’s admiration from the sidelines, not swagger from the stage.
The intent also reads as a professional wink. For comedians, Vegas is both a promised land and a grind: steady work, rotating crowds, the pressure to deliver every night, the faint desperation behind the glamour. Saying he has a warm spot acknowledges the complicated bond performers have with the city that will embrace you as long as you keep the room alive.
It lands because it’s modest. Anderson doesn’t mythologize Vegas; he humanizes it, turning a caricature of excess into a place you can feel oddly grateful for - even if you know better.
