And there was a lot of, you know, animosity between the black, the black community and the Korean American community. And so, I was feeling at the time, like, well, maybe that had something to do with it. I didn't know, but maybe almost like six, almost seven years later, I was casting a play with my current wife, Kelly Cofield, who was in The Living Color.
So that was not on my mind at the time. But then, excuse me, when this play happened, I hadn't seen her since the show. And it was reconnecting and then trying to unpack like, so what happened? And then she said, when they came back the next season, everybody was like, where's Ski? What happened? And then he said that because this was when
Living Color was about Keenan was fighting with Fox the network and it was like the beginning of the end and I think he was getting a little set up and he said that he was having a negotiating issue with my manager and she was pushing too hard and then so he just said screw it and then he just let me go and then I was told by one of the producers that they were looking for a comedian who had more of a stable of characters and
And then when I read the release from Fox that I read in the paper, it was because I was pursuing other opportunities, you know, so everybody has their own kind of thing. And so it took me, it took me probably until I met Kelly. It took, I didn't, there was always like a little bit of a wound there. Like I said, not knowing. Oh God, the life of an actor. I know.
I don't know. Well, you know, it's funny because... you know, I think Kelly and I, you know, we, we kind of remark on that sometimes, like we have, they come and they bring their friends over and we kind of wonder what, what they think of us because we're so not like the normal parents, I guess that other, but, um, but in other words, we are, you know, we're just normal people.
We don't do anything crazy. You know, we make food and we invite people in and, you know, please take your shoes off and, you know, whatever. But, uh, yeah. Um, I don't know. You'd have to ask my kids what their experience is. I know that they hear things, and I think sometimes maybe they try to hide it. I don't know what they do, quite honestly.
My daughter, she went to film school. She just graduated from Pratt Institute as a filmmaker and is pursuing acting. Okay. So my son, he's a writer. He's finishing grad school at Brooklyn College in the creative writing program. And he works at the Paris Review. And he's writing his first novel. So you'll probably be hearing about that at some point. That's so cool.
Oh yeah, I auditioned for it and I remember thinking, because they thought it was really funny that I was yelling, which seems like, well, of course I'm yelling. I'm inside of a plane. And I got the impression like, well, maybe the other people who auditioned didn't yell.
So you added that joke.
It's the whole joke.
I was just yelling. And then they laughed and I was like, Isn't everybody doing this? Oh my gosh.
But I have no idea. I just made that up in my mind. I have no idea if that was what actually happened, but that's my memory. That's what stayed with me.
It's not official or anything. It's just we love it. Can I ask what sticks out, what stands out about that episode for you guys?
Wow. That's so interesting.
Thank you so much. Are you having every single person on the show on your watch?
But you've re-watched this episode a long time ago, probably, right?
Five, so yeah, no, six months ago. Oh, okay, so recent.
Are you guys done now, or are you still watching?
Okay, you had heard of it. I think it was a little, I was a little long in the tooth, I think, at that point. Yeah.
No. No.
