But it was like getting all these egos in the same room.

There wasn't a room big enough.

And it was a struggle, and yet I was heard.

I got out there, and I said what I wanted to say, and I was heard.

It was tough at times to be heard, but I fought.

And the great thing about that show was that the producers of that show and head writers were Glenn Charles and Les Charles, who I'd first met on –

on Phyllis, and then they were brought in on Taxi.

So we struck up a friendship.

We were both handled by the same agent, and he thought it would be good for us to do a show together.

So I think about the third year of Taxi, we started to think about a show.

But Taxi, if you go back and watch that show, there is some of the funniest television I think I've ever done.

The standard out of that show is Reverend Jim, What Does the Yellow Light Mean?

slow down.

And that is, to me, one of the biggest laughs I had ever done on Taxi.

And so I have fond memories of that show.

It was also a great learning experience.

You know, this week I have gone out with all the women I know.

I mean, all the women I really enjoyed.

And all of a sudden, all I can think about is how stupid they are.

I mean, my life isn't fun anymore.
