It's you standing in front of unfunny people going, how about you give me a chance?
And they're going, I don't think so.
Oh, I have this funny story about Shanling where he...
And also, let me just say it and tell me this story.
But also, the problem is, is, yes, nobody looks like anything.
You know, Seth Rogen doesn't look like a leading man.
And Gary Shandling doesn't look and Jimmy Kimmel.
Nobody with their 25 looks like anything.
So how can you say that?
And if he looked like Rock Hudson, he wouldn't be funny.
All right, sorry, go ahead.
This is a story that isn't in the doc, but it made me laugh.
Gary wrote a script for Welcome Back, Cotter, and then he got in a terrible car accident, a really bad car accident, and almost died and had this near-death experience.
And then Gary called the head writer there, and he said, if you would say that you were about to hire me to be a full-time staff writer, I would get a lot of insurance money because I can't work because I'm injured.
And the writer who didn't think Gary was a great writer said, so but you definitely can't write on the show.
And Gary said, yeah, he goes, OK, well, then you could tell them I was going to hire you.
Right.
Welcome back.
As as as as popular, but as cookie cutter and formulaic a sitcom there ever there ever was up your nose with a rubber hose.
Hey, sit on it.
