Yeah, so you were my showrunner and executive producer on this TV show. And there was a lot of stuff I couldn't ask you at the time. But now that you're a guest on my show, I got some questions for you. First of all, between me, Chloe Bennett, and Jimmy O. Yang, who got paid the most? You don't have to be specific, but just indicate who was the highest paid one and I'll be sure. Okay.

No, it must have been, right? You didn't know him before. You're too modest. You don't understand. You showed him the project and it wasn't like you guys were friends before.

And how was it like working with him? I asked you last. I asked myself. That scene is... How was it? Oh, it was great. It was great. I thought he was great.
