Hollywood Minute.

Listen to this guy.

I was, you know, running scams or something.

I've become so much nicer.

Well, it was, I would say, you know, it started as this, it was Saul Turtletaub and Bernie Weinstein.

Created this show for Jack Albertson, who in a brilliant career move, died and couldn't do the show.

Smart.

And they then thought, why not Mickey Rooney, who was having a renaissance?

And so, you know, he had been in the show business wilderness for many years, doing dinner theater, drinking too much, and then had this, you know, big, big revival in his career.

And so he thought in his spare time, while he was doing eight shows a week of Sugar Babies, during the day, I'll do a situation comedy.

And so we were pulled into that.

And

You know, I think he never, he didn't get how brilliantly funny you were.

He was more drawn to me because I seemed more old school to him.

And then there was this strange thing that he, I think, started to make an assumption that Dana might be gay.

Yes.

And occasionally for comedic purposes, a little flamboyant.

And so I decided Dana might be gay.

And Dana at one point in frustration said to me, why don't you tell him you're gay?

Why should I break, you know, America's sweetheart's heart?
