But in terms of comedies, right? Yeah. In terms of comedies, we're a rarity. That was hard. I have since been able to look back at all of it and own my part in all of it. What's your part? I was a cocky fucking guy. And part of the cockiness was a defense mechanism. Yeah, you're scared. I'm scared that I'm not good enough. I'm scared I'm not funny enough.

But at the time, I was like, I've been doing this show for four years. I've been here from the beginning. I'm the funnier role. I wasn't. I wasn't any of those things. I was involved longer. That's it.

No, you don't make an excuse. I'm just a real piece of shit. And I deserve what's happening to me. Yes, yes, yes.

I think about the one person who hated it.
