.... *sigh*

Transcript:

MS: Directing television is very different than directing film. And with all credit to my wonderful friend, Mr. Speight, there. I've got a better answer for you. Here's the best answer for you. I watched Misha direct an episode. They shredded his script three times. He got pied in the face twice. Once so hard, I think they broke his nose.

Um, Jared was contemplating taking his car and doing something with it, putting it on top, I think, using an industrial forklift and putting it on top of the stage, like on top of the building. Um, he was continuously tortured while doing this. And I think the nicest and politest answer I could give you to this is they didn't play pranks on me because I'd sue them. I'm a grown-up. And I don't think I was far enough away from us or separate enough from us to be given the respect that I would need to execute an episode. I genuinely feel they would have felt obliged to screw with me, and didn't really want to. Yeah.

Yeah, and I think, I think if I'd have been on another show and, and come over to do that, they would have treated me fantastically and still messed with me, but I don't think they wanted to mess with me; I think it was like no, we want you to do this, we reserved, we reserved the torture for everybody else.

RSJ: Yeah, you'd dodged a bullet
