If you remember, that was sort of, you know, aside from the Olympics part of it, that was the episode that kind of started to turn everything, because that's where, you know, Steve's character started to become slightly more sympathetic.

And I don't know if you remember or not, we really, that kind of got found on the set. Because remember, we were doing the whole thing where we were presenting, you guys were presenting Michael with the, you know, the medal, right? And Steve just made this decision to kind of start crying, you know, getting all choked up. And I remember just going like, oh my God, Steve, that's so great.

Like, keep going with that. And that was, I think that was kind of the turning point where his character took that left turn from Ricky Gervais' character. And became more sort of the lovable, you know, misfit who's trying too hard for everybody to like him.

Yeah. No, it really gets me too. Because I think, you know what it was? It was just Steve's performance was so sincere that it felt if we were kind of being snarky or laughing at him, that it made you guys such villains to do that. But it wasn't anybody's really instinct to do that. And so I just kind of encourage you to

Neither. What you do is you basically kind of go through the script, and I would walk around with Kelly, our AD, the, you know, the day before or whatever.

So that we would be cross shooting it and the cameras could, could avoid seeing each other, but where the documentary crew would actually be.
