grandma if you were disappointed it was one of the things that when i realized when my mom told me oh no i told her that you were going to be on jeopardy that's when i lost it of course for some reason the jeopardy thing was really connected to her so everything about that was really emotional

Okay.

Yeah.

I was on Broadway.

I had my little kid eyes only set on Broadway.

Oh, okay, wonderful.

Wonderful.

And then when I was in college, right out of college, those years, I was doing a lot of regional theater, community theater with people that had been on Broadway, maybe five years older than me.

So still young, but people that had been on Broadway and they'd been in this show and they'd been in that show.

And then they come do this show and we do the show together and we're all in a show together and I'm going to move to New York and you guys are on Broadway and I'm going to be on Broadway.

It was just like, that's the path.

Yeah.

And I see it because we're working together and that's where you are going to go next.

And then when I moved to New York and it wasn't like that, the first two years of living in New York, I hadn't discovered UCB yet.

And so it was just auditioning for plays and not getting them and auditioning for like student films and getting them and them being weird.

I had this very clear...

realization.

I went and saw a musical called 42nd street tap dancing.

There's in my mind, a hundred cast members.

I don't know if it's 40 or whatever.
