Roy Wood Jr.

Maybe I could buy the show back from the network.

That's the crazy thing about.

That's the crazy thing about the entertainment industry is that you have to like.

If they give me money for an idea, they own the idea.

In perpetuity.

In perpetuity.

If I move to Pluto, I cannot do a show about a probation officer.

Even if it's set on Pluto.

Because they own the idea of Roy as a probation officer.

Unless they were fully reimbursed dollar for dollar for every single thing that they spent money on to make that original project.

including the rewrites for the second run of the pilot.

They will want every dollar back, and even still, they may not give it back.

the more I look at the industry, I think that the next project I do will probably be something that I conjure out of my own head.

I don't know what they're going to do with the daily show.

I don't know what other networks are looking to do with their show.

Like at midnight doesn't have a host yet.

So, you know, my name could be in the half of that, you know, I don't know.

But the more I look at this time and,

where there's like industry stillness, your brain goes back to truck stop mode where you're just sitting.

And that's when you start firing off all the good ideas.
