As a writer or a producer, he would not be able to shine.

You've got to leave him alone.

Yes.

He would have still done his shit.

He would have gotten heat and people got mad at him, but he would have been the same guy.

Yeah, yeah.

But that's just they don't want to.

There's like real internal cockfighting on that show that people have explained about like whose sketches get picked and whose not get picked.

And there's been a lot of accusations of like certain writers taking premises from younger writers.

That's what Jim Brewer said.

Oh, interesting.

Like they have a database of stuff they're working on and then someone would just see what you're working on and then steal it.

Oh, wow.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Phil Hartman told me about that too.

Phil Hartman told me there's all these like it's weirdly competitive and backstabby.

He was a harsh.

Like when Phil first came over to news radio, it took him a while to just relax and be friends with us.

Because he almost thought of us as being like fellow cast members on SNL.

So there's like this combative sort of distance relationship.
