It was this horrific disaster of a movie. It's not on Netflix. It's... No, no, but it had Elliot Gould, Shelley Winters, Carol Kane, Margot Hemingway, Sid Caesar. I mean, it was over the Brooklyn Bridge. And so, okay, it was this epic education in guerrilla filmmaking because it was super low budget. What not to do, what to do. I got to meet everybody that was there.

I worked on the sets, and after a while... They put me on the payroll. They even gave me back pay to the day that I walked in and did that stunt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was $50 a day for, like, 15-hour days. Come on. Come on. And... We're adults here. Come on. And so...

So when I finally got hired, that moment I got hired, I was still, I didn't explain this part, but for five days, until I really got hired, I worked both jobs. I did the night shift at the Yale Club. Seriously, I was 21. I did the night club, because I didn't want to quit the Yale Club until I was sure I was going to get hired. I got hired. I worked that last shift at the Yale Club.
