In 1990, Barbara Bush described: "One of the reasons I made the most important decision of my life, to marry George Bush, is because he made me laugh.

Schmidt said in 2012, "What’s frustrating about it is that Pete is an incredibly handsome, charming, funny guy, but when he does a magazine or something it’s like, ‘Isn’t it amazing he’s four foot five inches tall and he’s sexy?’ You know, that’s just who Pete is. And the rest of the world has to catch up."

Then [Black] came over eight weeks later. The first night, I took him to meet my friends and said: ‘This is my boyfriend.’ The next night we went on our first date. The next night he asked me to be his boyfriend. The night after that, after a couple of lychee martinis, he told me he loved me. He extended his trip, we were already talking about babies and weddings. So that was in the first week. It was weird. But now it’s five years later …"

Carvey explained in 2022: " We’ve become very, very close friends...We have too much history, an unbelievable amount of stuff in common. … We had so much shared history together, riding the rocket of Wayne’s World....We got closer during that whole process [of making a Super Bowl commercial in 2021] and started talking more.
