We like creating abstract impressions.
And so, you know, Dana had some under his belt, obviously.
And then I tried to help him with, you know, Johnny Carson and Regis.
The Regis thing was very strange because like I wrote it for Phil Hartman.
I wrote it for Phil Hartman and it went to dress.
It didn't do great.
And then Dana, in his gentlest, non-cutthroat way, just happened upon me like a week later and was like, you know, Regis is kind of small and Irish.
And like, I had just had a total blank.
I had just picked Phil because he was the oldest cast member.
Yeah.
And I thought of...
I thought of him as just, OK, he's the old guy comparatively.
But Dana was absolutely right.
He looked more like Regis.
And then he started doing him.
Oh, yeah.
It was that thing of like the explosion.
This was something that he really did on the show.
Broca's got the front row seat and I'm sitting with, you know, Patrick Swayze in the back.
Anyway, it was a great event.
