Case in point, a dinner at the legendary talent agent Sue Manger's house, in which I was privileged to be invited. It was, I think, only eight people there, and one of them was the great Jack Nicholson. So when Hammy showed up, I swear to God, inside I was like, oh, great. He even says to me, he goes, what are you doing here? Anyway, he proceeded to get very drunk during the coffee table portion.

And then it was time for dinner. Sue sat hammy next to me, which was uncomfortable, but I wasn't going to bother her. But at least Jack Nicholson was there. And I could focus on hopefully getting to know one of the great actors of our time.

And then Hammy picks that moment when Jack Nicholson is talking to me to start whispering like boozy, stupid, yammering attempts at jokes in my ear. So the first one was, you know, your Emmy isn't a real Emmy. I was like, whatever. So I kind of just ignored him. Then the next one, he just goes, you're so old.

I just swear to God, I said it out of the side of my mouth. I go, not now. And then he kept going. Stuff like, do you know how old you look? Finally, I just fucking snap. I just turn. I go, look, you can't keep up. You're outclassed. Zip it. Jack's talking.
