And every now and then I go back to Birmingham and I do a goofy dance so you can know where the opportunities are.

I had that same conversation with Comedy Central.

2018, I had a comedy at a sitcom pilot, Jefferson County Probation, where I played a probation officer.

It was based on a probation officer I had who was like super dope and helpful and just literally was one of the most important characters in my life at the time and helping me grow.

So what would the criminal justice system look like if recidivism had people that actually cared about you not coming back to prison?

So.

I went to Comedy Central.

I said, I want to shoot this show in Alabama.

I think the South.

Each southern city is uniquely different in that it can play a character like the way New Orleans as a city is a character within the show.

There was there was a there was a sitcom on Fox.

Dig for it.

It was Anthony Anderson and I think Cole Hauser.

And they both play.

It was a buddy cop comedy set in New Orleans.

Fox Early Arts.

K-Town.

K-Ville.

My memory is fucking amazing.

The way they use the specificity of New Orleans as a character in that show was beautiful.
