He literally had to introduce the concept of TV to him in order to tell him, hey, come work with me.
Also, did not know this, Mel Brooks, World War II veteran.
So when he does Springtime for Hitler and the producers, when he does all these kind of jokes about Nazis or whatever, there was, at the time, people were very outraged to say, even though Mel Brooks is very outspoken and proud of his Jewish heritage, it's a bad look to be making these kind of jokes.

The dude was literally like going through minefields to make sure that these German mines weren't just going off and killing Allied soldiers.
So I think once you've hit that level of like, yeah, I'm about this life, you can joke about whatever you want.
Look, the Giannis stuff is incredible because he's been giving these quotes all season long, just left and right.
And, you know, me and George Sedano years ago came up with this line describing LeBron.
They said LeBron doesn't leave breadcrumbs.

He had the quote about how his agent is his own man.
I'm not responsible for anything he says.
He's his own man, but he works for me.
I was like, what does that mean?
And then the latest one, which is he gets hurt.
