It's so fucked up.

Have you ever fainted right before you went on stage?

Because I would think that's like a heightened state of anxiety a little bit, especially in the early days.

I knew a dude who was a warm-up guy.

He'd just do warm-up, and he had a real problem with anxiety.

He just would freak out.

He was a comic, and it never worked out for him because his anxiety would just overwhelm him.

And one time, he was warming up for the Cosby show, and he got this idea in his head that he was going to say the N-word.

Of course.

And he's like, don't say it.

Of course.

Don't say it.

Yeah.

So he's warming up for the Cosby show.

So he's, you know, basically in the crowd warming up.

OK, so here in the next scene, Dr. Huxtable is going to come in and all his mind is telling him is don't say the N word.

He's not going to say it.

He was never going to say it.

But for whatever reason, he was overwhelmed by this fear of saying the N word in this like very predominantly black audience.

And he completely had a meltdown while he was doing warm up.
