I remember when I was – my first year on the show, Kevin Nealon, who I was a big fan of, Kevin Nealon came back to kind of see a show and say hi to us. he, it was towards the end of that, my first year on the show. And he was like, you're really funny. You're like, great job. And I was like, I was like, thanks man. And he was like, let me give you some advice.

Like you don't have to score every week. Just keep that in mind. It's like, if you could look back on a season and count on you, like if you've done 10 funny things, um, then you've had a good year. Wow. So it took the pressure off of having to have a great show every week. It's like hitting 300 in baseball. If you hit 300, you're going to be in the Hall of Fame.

And if you could hit, well, 30% might be a little low. But if you could be funny 50% of the time, you would have a great year. That's a good batting average. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I took that to heart, but yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, you're screwed, man. Sounds like you gotta figure it out. Yeah. Yeah. No, you know, I... The thing that I always lived by is because, you know, I, I was like, look, I'm going to meet, I'm going to, I'm going to watch people perform who I think I'm funnier than. I'm also going to watch people who are way funnier than me.

You've got to commit sketch wise to whatever the premise is. Yeah. And, and just go for it. And if you lock in that way, all the apprehension will just melt away. And, and then the audience will be on your side too, because they'll just be like,
