“When you manage to bring intelligent smiles to the lips of even a single spectator, you also make God smile.”Francis also said it was OK to “laugh at God” in the same way “we play and joke with the people we love.”After delivering his speech, Francis greeted all the comedians individually, sharing laughs and jokes with some of them.“It was great, it was very fast and really loving, and made me happy,” Goldberg said afterward.
