00:00:13
I loved working with you and I remember
00:00:14
one time cuz I was still doing standup
00:00:16
when I was on that show and I did my
00:00:18
second shot on the Letterman show. The
00:00:20
next day you said, "Uh, weren't you on
00:00:22
Letterman last night?" And I was like,
00:00:24
"Yes, sir. How did it go?" And I said,
00:00:26
"It was good." So you said, "I want to
00:00:28
see it." and you went in and got someone
00:00:29
to get a tape of it. He and I sat in the
00:00:31
office, just the two of us.
00:00:32
Oh, and you watch it together.
00:00:34
We watched it. Dana stood next to the TV
00:00:36
and he pointed at the TV afterwards and
00:00:38
he said, "Do you understand that you had
00:00:39
a set like that back in whatever the '7s
00:00:42
or ' 80s?"
00:00:43
Yeah. Superstar.
00:00:44
You would have been a huge never to look
00:00:46
back again star after
00:00:47

00:00:48
You'd be the next guy.
00:00:50
So, I was right.
00:00:51
And you're very kind and you were very
00:00:53
generous.
00:00:54

00:00:55
