But also, I think the reason why people love you guys so much as a duo is that you demonstrate this technical knowledge on top of being personalities, which is something that you have to sort of account for because...

The attention of the audience at home is on and everyone in the room is on the activity.

But like you are literally adding color and depth and dimension to what is going on and giving context in a very important way.

Thank you.

Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
Two Guys, Five Rings: Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir

I want to go back to this idea that you guys show up where you quote unquote shouldn't be.

Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang
Two Guys, Five Rings: Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir

I think that is why... I think the fact that you guys stand out in this outstanding way is because I think even with figure skating as a niche thing, you guys...
