Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I heard that was not a good movie.
Thank you, Sam.
Happy to be here.
I only had reservations.
Yes, I did, of course.
It was a very ambitious conceit.
I was approached by my friend David Bernad, who is a producer of The White Lotus.
We've done a couple of projects together before.
And he asked if I'd be interested in getting on a Zoom with Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stipnitsky at The Office, who I was a huge fan of that show.
And he gave me sort of a basic one-liner idea of the concept of the show, which is basically we're taking the Truman Show and we're dropping it in the middle of jury duty.
And I said, okay, well, let's expound on that.
What's my part?
What am I doing?
And I got excited about...
all of the sort of improvisational element of the show and the sort of live theater
part of the whole thing.
So, yeah, I'm a big Christopher Guest fan.
I loved the Larry Sanders show.
I love, obviously, Curb Your Enthusiasm and everything Larry David does.
