What's up, gang? Hello. How we doing today? Doing great. We're always delighted to be in each other's company, but we have even more special company with us today. Ladies and gentlemen, the director of Toby, one of our favorite directors of all time, Mr. Chris Koch. How's it going, buddy?
We'll let it in like a huge crowd of applause.
I assume that. Outside of Olin, I think you've directed the most episodes of This Is Us. Yeah, how many episodes did you direct? I think I did 11. Really?
Yeah. Only 11? I know. It feels like you did 25. Yeah. How many did Olin do? I don't know.
More. 40-something.
No.
