Yeah, and I sort of was like, oh, this other thing is not that important.

And so I started to look for employment elsewhere.

And meanwhile, Tess was having this incredible experience at work and really shining.

And it was probably because of that shift in perspective that I was able to approach what I was doing in a different way.

And then was very lucky and New Girl came out.

Yeah, I don't need this job anymore.

I don't need this thing anymore.

And I'm only doing it, and really with that one specifically, with New Girl, it was written so well.

Liz Merriweather, who wrote the pilot and who created the series and wrote most of the episodes,

She's such a phenomenal writer.

And that material was so good.

And I thought, well, I'm surely never going to get this.

But I wanted to just perform the material that they had given me.

And so I just took the joy of doing that.

And then the next thing you know, they were like, you're the guy we want to hire.

And then I thought, well, I'll never get it.

And, you know, the rest sort of.

Oh, for sure.

Without question.

Oh, yeah, for sure.
