9 Funny Thanksgiving Quotes By Comedians (PHOTOS)

Many things have been said about Thanksgiving's ability to unite family, remind us of what we have and comfort us with great food before the long winter, but some of the best (and worst) things about the holiday have been said by comedians. Let's face it: as wonderful as the holiday may be, a day dedicated to football, gluttony and awkward family moments with a questionable origin provides more than enough material for a joke. Check out our 9 favorite quotes about Thanksgiving from comedians like Jon Stewart, Jim Gaffigan, Johnny Carson and more.

If you people hate Leno so much, don't friggen watch him! He must be doing somthing right to have remained at the top of late-night for so long. Could it be that you detest him for being popular among the great unwashed, unenlightened masses that you detest so much?

Your "Team Coco" is back on the air, so just stop whining already.

You get together with your relatives once a year to re-affirm why you live 1000-miles apart.

Mistake in Headline.

Jay Leno and Greg Proops aren't funny, so how can they be called comedians?

Love is putting up with my stupid sister when she tells my son-in-law and myself that we are not watching any football on Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve because we are together and we are going to enjoy each other's company. Boy that's the way to prove whether or not there is family love.

One Thanknsgiving, I stayed at school in Austin instead of going home. Ate dinner at the Armadillo World Headquaters, one of the most memorable Thanksgiving dinners I ever had.

Happy T-Day.

Family gatherings and reunions are a reminder of why you all scattered in the first place!
