you have conversational topics. Different shows do it different ways. Some are very tightly scripted, others, like Jimmy Kimmel, very loose. It's like, we're gonna tell this story and we're gonna have fun. Uh, but Letterman, when I got there again, I'm, I'm new, I'm new in this game.

Uh, I'm given a script and I'm like, oh shit, I have to like, these are the stories that I told and they're written better than I told them. And you know, they're, they're very formulated and here are the questions. And I'm literally trying to memorize me like what, these are my stories. I'm trying to memorize what they want me to say. And, and the producer who was lovely, they were like,

And, and the producer who was lovely, they were like,

here's the deal. He's going to ask you these questions, these three questions. If the interview is going well, he'll ask you a fourth. He might even ask you a fifth.

And I was like, God, it's, and then I'm out there and I'm like, I hope it's going good.

We got to all five questions, uh, which was great. Um, But it was nerve wracking to feel like, oh, in the middle of the interview, I will know how the interview is going. And and yeah, it was a I mean, one of the best highlights. It was just I mean, yeah, that was really that was one of the best things.
