But I'm like,
Tension makes good TV.
Sure.
Especially reality TV.
And in Last Comic Standing, they wanted none of it.
Where if someone bombed and the three judges and I are like crying laughing at like how bad they did.
We're like, this is going to be the best part of the episode.
Cut.
What is that?
Because they didn't want to embarrass any comics at this point in the series.
There's a reason that you can stream every season of Last Comic Standing except for mine.
That sucks I wish I mean if they had if there's someone told me we have all the fights between you and norm on on a post on tape I would be like this is going to just like shoot it into space and
Yeah, so that aliens know what greatness is like it was it was it was hard to be dealing with an idol And have it just not be going well, but like neither one of us was gonna back down And I thought this is amazing television Yeah, they took all of it that I was like I was pretty upset Did you kind of want norm because if I had tension with norm I would be Crumble because I want him to like me of course.
I mean I really wanted him to like me He gave me no choice
And I felt like I remember saying to someone, I was like, just because I'm Ringo doesn't mean I'm not one of the fucking Beatles.
Because they were like, the judges are getting paid more than you.
And it was the one gig where I took where I'm like, I'm taking less money so I can do whatever I want.
Not realizing that when you take less money, you can't do anything you want.
They don't give a shit about you.
When you're getting a lot of money, then you can like, you have power.
