And he goes, this is the opportunity of a lifetime. Everybody wants to do a Broadway show. And your first instinct is to come out and crack a joke. And I said, well, forgive me, but there are 30 people sitting in front of me who are about to decide my fate. And I figured I had two options. I could either break the ice or projectile vomit on you and your colleagues.

So forgive me for choosing the former. And I'm not even saying it jokingly. I'm like super fucking pissed. And then he starts to lecture me about the fact that I don't have the discipline in craft to take this job. Oh my God. And I look at him and I say, I'll do respect. You can tell me I'm not right for the role. You can tell me that I am not your favorite actor.

You can fucking tell me I'm not funny. For you to sit there and tell me and judge my discipline after I literally spent four years in conservatory, spent every last penny that I had to learn my craft. to study my craft, to stick with my craft through thick and thin. That is not something you get to take away from me. And I said, good luck with your show. I appreciate this.

Thank you for the opportunity. I walk out. I congratulate Jordan on getting the role. I go back to my hotel, the Sheridan. Ding, ding, ding. No, actually it was a Hilton. That was a Hilton. Well, they kind of became, yeah. It's either Sheridan or Hilton. Modern day Sheridan. And I called my mom up. She said, how'd it go? I said, didn't happen. As bad as it could. As bad as it could.

I'm coming home. And I get a call from my then agent, Hannah Roth. And she says, hey. And I said, hey, I'm not really in the mood to talk right now. And she goes, well, you have two tickets to go see Spelling Bee tonight. And I said, why the fuck? Would I want to go see that show? And at this point, I had never seen the show. I didn't have enough money to get a ticket to see the show.
