You cheat out, you know what I mean? Downstage, upstage, all this extra stuff. Right, right. On top of, now I got to also engage in, you know, try to learn about, like, all these other cultures I may or may not have ever been interested in doing. Yeah. I never had a...
super duper beatles interest but only because i grew up like listening to motown and gospel and shit like that it's just i didn't know kind of thing yeah it wasn't like i felt like i was missing anything until i knew i was and then once i knew i was i was like oh shit so i feel like that can be daunting to people and that's why they might have a tough time there
Yeah. And that's totally fine. You know what I mean? And I think. They do as good as they can with trying to ease that transition, and some people take to it, and some people tank to it. Thank you very much. Yes. Thank you very much.
That's the forum that's just like, it's just jokes. Right. So it doesn't matter about blocking. There's no blocking.
I don't know if they fizzled necessarily. The only like left and came back successfully at all that I know of is Parnell. Parnell was let go weirdly, was doing very well. He's good. And continued to do well or something and was asked back or something like that.
But yeah, he's the only like left and come back that I think I'm aware of.
Yeah.
Yeah. Well, I mean, he's back for the announcements. I don't know if he ever, like, left the show on his run, though. Oh, Donahue left.
I'm all over the place. There's not enough comedies anymore. There's no comedies to be seen right now. It's so sad. I'm always waiting on Seth Rogen or somebody to do some shit. That's been the mainstream thing. Or Kevin. Kevin and the Rock is like the Jumanjis is what we get nowadays as opposed to some sort of road trip or something.
It holds up, man. I just miss the... you know, kind of like, not as far back as Airplane, but those guys that would do those kind of movies or whatever.
Even Vamp, like, if I see Vampire Suck is on, like, I'll watch that shit. Yeah. It's just like, they're being just silly and dumb. Yes. Of course, the classics, like, the Tropic Thunders of it all, but like, that's where it felt like It was the end of the road for the freedom of wanting to be funny kind of thing. Yeah, scary movies. We used to have Austin Powers. I know. That was wild.
There was three of them. That's insane. Yeah, there was a couple scary movies. I'm looking for that era, but... I watch whatever. A lot of horror movies. Not so much drama. Like, I don't feel like crying, I guess.
We're working on it. I mean, the basketball is. Oh, love it. It should be allowed to be done. Yes. Like, there's supposed to be a freedom of speech.
Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, let the audience tell you. Yeah. They keep trying to suppress, but then you have the Shane Gillises that pop up out of that suppression. Right.
I didn't really know much of the story and like it's above my pay grade what they do with people's lives and careers like that. Yeah. But if it was squashed between the people, then that's as far as it should have gone. But it's definitely weird not to give someone a chance. Yeah. A chance to say their piece, a chance to whatever kind of thing.
cool they had him back eventually it's cool that he earned that regardless like he got to that point in stature career-wise or whatever that it made sense to have him back you know what i mean and like he was a nice guy you know what i mean trying to figure out good guy how to match how he grew up to sensibilities you know what i'm saying which is what everybody's trying to do
That's crazy. That's fair.
But I feel like it might have been tough on him. You know what I mean? Like, watching him host and, like, if you watch the show, he's pretty similar in every sketch. And that takes a toll on a few different things. It takes a toll on the audience or eventually, like, just things start to become milder in reaction kind of thing. And that starts to fuck with people's heads kind of thing.
And then when guys are just... have a stand-up base as opposed to, like...
an actor base to rely on and play any character like i'll play a fucking tree you know what i mean but i feel like stand-ups like if they're not getting the pop from when i say something and i hear the pop of a laugh or some shit and i think it starts to like spiral motherfuckers out oh yeah well you know the old rodney story on caddyshack i was just thinking this
