Did you ever get any feedback from him?
Oh, great. Oh, that's very cool. It's one of my favorites. And again, Michael Keaton, there's very few actors I like more than Michael Keaton. Yeah. So this is Prom King, and you're both so good in it.
This podcast is legally obligated to do it. I mean, I already took his sweetest chef, so I feel like, you know, might as well be that. I'm a Beetlejuice guy now. Yeah. I gotta get married. Oh, I was back twice back.
I think it's worse. I mean, not worse is the wrong word, but I think it is as taxing, if not more taxing now.
I'm going to say something.
I kind of love that it's not there.
Yeah. The trope is that teen movie where the super cool guy says, I will, you know, make a girl who is unexpected. I will bring her to prom. She will win the prom queen. But it is a cruel bet that he makes with a friend. In this case, it's really nice because Pete doesn't pick the nerdy teacher. He points to Kate and you just misunderstand who he's pointing to.
A big old headgear and a move of moving the pencil within the body of the headgear.
It's amazing. Yeah. I remembered she had a line and watching it again, which is, you don't realize she's still in the room and Keaton looks down and she's just still there. Sure. I suppose that'd be all right. Right? Yeah. Great. All right.
He's so good in it. Yeah. Vanessa is so good in it. Yeah. You do get a sense that there's not a lot of excitement in his life.
She's just the line readings for Vanessa are so dead.
And it's it's amazing. She does come around. She does want him to go to the prom. I mean, she doesn't quite know the stakes, but she does support him. It's really lovely. And I will say another one that it sort of does end sweetly. You know, there's no like furries fucking in an alley.
Keaton, he brings so much integrity to it. Yeah. It's so funny for you to say how tired he was because, of course, you don't see it. And, man, it really goes back to how hard that show works its hosts. Oh, it's crazy.
They'll never take those kisses away. No. Only we know about that now. Stored in the bank. I think his instincts were right. I liked not seeing the prom. I liked how just happy he looked to have the crown. Yeah. It was happy. Yeah. It was good. I think he's one of the first, because that's pretty soon after I left.
He was the first, like, really, I felt the ache in my bones of like, ah, I can't believe I didn't get to write for Keaton. And I bring this up because after you had left, I remember one time we were sitting in Higgins office and I won't name names, but all anybody was doing was complaining about the host. And it was like a real moment of wisdom.
where you said, these are the ones you're going to talk about with everybody here like 20 years from now. Nobody remembers anything but the absolute disasters. And it was really, it was like such a nice moment because I was like, oh, you're right. This is the one that they're going to laugh about.
I mean, you're happy to see Paul out because of how smooth it was. But like the fun stories are. It was like you said it in the way that in the movie Parenthood. Remember when the grandmother like make some speech that like kind of grounds everybody in the world. I can't quite remember. I think it's something about a merry-go-round. But it was a real everybody got quiet.
Well, you're like, don't you see? These are the moments. And now I must go.
Yeah, it's true. Yeah. Like there's no other place like this. And the fact that you can do bits about a impossible host is one of the gifts. Yeah. I do think Timmy was always on the side of this is hilarious. Yeah. Timmy was never in a bad mood. I remember saying, is the host as bad as everybody says? And he's like, oh, it's the worst.
It was the first shoe selection right out the gate. I forgot about Obi. That was a real... I still had enough friends at the show that I could go back and visit. And it's not, by the way, I think people would be very polite if I stopped by, but it wasn't instant bits.
