Yeah. So, again, these are mostly screenwriters, people trying to write stuff and break in. What do you recommend now? You know, here we are decades later. Do you recommend starting a theater troupe, doing comedy? I mean, all the online avenues, TikTok, YouTube, do you think that’s a good place to start? What do you recommend to young people today, trying to do basically what you did, have a similar career to what you had?

I don’t know what the theater scene is and if people go to theater, I think they do. I mean, the Groundlings is popular here in LA and they do improv. I think somebody could start a small theater and do sketches, I guess, I don’t know because I’ve been out of that world for so long. We just used it as a launching pad, a means to an end. But now, of course, you have the internet. So, there’s YouTube, you can start your own channel. But if you want to do comedy, I would suggest learning how to do it and not pretending that you know how to do it or thinking that it’s easy. Like the people who did the recent Naked Gun, they just, I think it’s arrogance. They thought this looks easy, but it ain’t. It’s just not easy. You have to learn, so that’s why I started Master Crash. So you go to Mastercrash.com, it’s a free community. And I just want to make sure people do it right.
