I remember like six or seven months in being very happy with, uh,

with what was happening at the show and what I was learning and how for the first time I felt like I fit in.

And I remember landing from London, like the wheels hitting the ground in New York and things were, oh, it's good to be home.

And I thought, oh, that's a dangerous thing to think because this is not my home.

Like I'm on a working visa.

If I feel that way, I might need to start

making plans for this truly being my home because before it had just felt like

a fun adventure that I was having.

Then you realize, oh no, I think I love this more than I've loved anything.

Ed Helms was his last week.

So he was going off to the office.

And The Hangover as well was coming up.
