It was bad timing.

They brought back a whole bunch of shitty shows.

I swear to God, Burt Reynolds may have been hosting this thing.

But they brought back a bunch of shitty game shows right as I was moving into C-level celebrity.

And I was always good on fun and spontaneous.

It's like a little circuit.

And I was always a little nervous because I couldn't read very well.

So I was always scared that they were going to give me the card and I was going to stand up and not know what it was, not be able to pronounce it or whatever.

And this is, they give you the big piece of paper.

They give you the big Sharpie.

You have no idea how bad you draw.

Because in your mind, you're drawing very nicely and concisely.

You're drawing like what you see.

Like you're used to seeing Disney drawings and things like that.

You don't realize how bad you are on TV.

But you draw it out and everyone's guessing, you know.

And they, you know, they give you, you know, Kentucky, you know, bluegrass or something like that.

And everyone's just guessing, guessing.

First one.

First day.
