I do, depending. If you're in there for Judd or somebody, you should absolutely do that because I find myself, I'll publicly apologize to Beck Bennett now because once he came in for a pilot of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and after the audition, I said, wait, Mike, can he do it again? Because he can be better. It just came out of my mouth. Bring it way down, something like that. And then he was great.

He had chosen to make the character big and I love Beck Bennett. Yes. Get the guy a major movie and a major show. If I'm allowed to say that. And when you say Mike, you're talking about Shur? Mike Shur, yes.

That's why his shows are spectacular. Plug for the new Ted Danson show, which is spectacular. You guys are going to love it. Kristen just did a little thing on that, I think. I know. I didn't get to go to that, but I know she did a little bit. But yeah, Mike Shur is a director who's a dream because he wants to see who you are.

And he doesn't care about the words. He does ultimately, but he doesn't because you find stuff there that you would bring to it or that Beck Bennett would bring to it that is not on the page and you do need to show them who you are. And you've got to be able to do the thing. I totally get it. You have to be able to do the thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or else they will say, I've had major comedy people go, he changed my line. Yeah. And I'll always be defensive of the actor. Always. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I don't like it when they make fun of an actor. I just, I'm always defensive of the actor.

What are actors like? Because I always try to make an actor feel at home when they come in. But I realize I should ask the actor, do you just want to come in and do it and then talk?

I mean, I've always just being, I think, empathetic to actors when they come in because no matter who it's in there, it's a dead room. And coming in to audition for comedy is ridiculous. You're in a vacuum and you're trying to be funny. And they've seen it 45 times. Exactly. And it's a ridiculous task. So that's why I also think self-taping is beneficial.
