Sean Hayes

So these guys have no idea what I'm going to say.

So it's like, if you can hang in there for like two minutes, which is a long time, but it's a long story.

Here we go.

It's one of the most embarrassing things that's ever happened to me.

I was shooting a pilot last year and sent a long email to Carrie asking her to help me out.

And she emailed me back.

He's a great emailer.

I was deeply moved.

I meant every word.

And then there was the ask at the bottom of it.

Always, always.

Always, right?

So, but she emailed me back, asked for my number and said, I'd love to call you to chat more about it.

Great, fantastic, wonderful response.

At the same time, I was guest hosting a few episodes of Jimmy Kimmel's show.

And while there, I had befriended a producer named Aaron, Aaron Irwin, who's now a good friend.

So one night on my way home from the shows, I got a text on my phone saying, I'm watching you on Kimmel right now and you're doing great.

And I was pleased by the message, but I was like...

Perplexed because I didn't recognize the number.

And then I decided, and I deduced that it was Aaron from Kimmel who was maybe watching like a rough cut of the show because we just exchanged phone numbers as I left the studio, but I hadn't put her contact info on my phone.
