"I remember going to church about four times a week. I liked it a lot"
About this Quote
As a comedian, Jackson is trading on the audience's expectations about religiosity. In modern pop culture, churchgoing at that frequency reads as either quaint, intense, or political. She doesn't litigate any of it. Instead, she performs a kind of disarming sincerity that dares you to laugh at the wrong thing. The subtext is: you can mock the intensity, but you can't easily mock the pleasure. That tension is where the line lives.
Context matters, too. Jackson came up in an era of televised comedy where "nice" could be a weapon: a way to smuggle in identity, values, even controversy, while keeping the surface cheerful. The quote works because it refuses the expected cynicism. It treats faith not as a debate topic but as a remembered habit, delivered with the timing of someone who knows how odd it sounds and doesn't apologize for it.
