Yes, there's a photo of me standing there not knowing what to do. I was in the studio right next to him. But obviously off his camera. But there was a camera on me because I was doing a segment with him, as you said. And then we finished the segment. And then usually he says, okay, everybody, Roy Chang, everybody. And then everyone applauds and I leave the studio. But he didn't do that this time.

He explained why he was leaving the show on air. And no sign of it. There was no sign. I didn't know he was doing that.

I don't know. He's a very smart guy and I trust his judgment on everything. And I'm sure he had his reasons, you know, and I can't speak to them. But I'm sure he had his reasons to do it because it seems like a pretty extreme thing to do.

Maybe he didn't want anyone to talk him out of it. I don't know.

Yeah. But yeah, maybe you don't want anyone to leak it. That's also a possibility or, you know.

I was like, is this a bit? And then in my head, I was also like, well, we're not live. You know what I mean? Like he could say that and then we could just edit it if he changes his mind. So I was like, this sounds serious. I don't know what's going on. I'm a person who I think I do a decent job at minding my own business. So I wasn't like, well, what's going on?

I wasn't trying to like insert myself into this situation. You know what I mean? I was like, oh man, what's going on? You know, it sounds like he is going through some stuff and so I hope he's okay. You know, that was my primary thought.

You know, honestly, I wasn't thinking that because I was here because of Trevor. If I lose the job because of Trevor, I was okay with that. You know what I mean? I wasn't supposed to have this job anyway. So I've always adopted this very nihilistic view about the job and doing it. Not nihilistic. I care about the job a lot. I love it. It's the best job in comedy.
