I'm glad you guys are making such an informed decision about the film, and about how uniformed others' decisions about the film are. Don't let it bother you that the critic saw it and you didn't.

To clarify: we didn't go to school together. He was already a local headliner in SF when Jordan and I were in school in Santa Cruz. He did a couple Santa Cruz shows that we booked, and guested on the show a couple times back then, along with a couple of other amazing SF comics - Jasper Redd and Brent Weinbach. Jasper

I can only speak for myself, but there are folks who go on the radio every day for twenty or thirty years. Their shows usually aren't as personal as ours are, so the churn of the news cycle helps, but work is work. And this is our work. We enjoy our work, but we are professionals.

"The guts to press hard"? Yeesh. You seem like a real sweetheart.

She writes about it in the book. Basically: actors get replaced in pilots all the time (this is very true). It wasn't really Tina Fey's choice (also true).
