As you know, I'm sure Chris Hansen had some choice words about
the film, calling it an insult.
Obviously, that's going to happen.
I was wondering if you were prepared for that kind
of pushback and what your response is.
Well, I really want him to see the movie,
and I'm excited for him to see it, and I want him to know,
I don't know if he has even remembered doing this, but so much
of the movie comes from the inspiration, how the movie even came to be,
was a cameo he had made for me from almost five years ago.
In the cameo, he congratulated me for making

purchased this for me well before I had ever received
a Jon Sings brilliant script through
Rob, and when I saw the cameo, I was so interested.
I was fascinated by, you know, the guy I grew up with,

It's sort of strange.

I was like, I want to do something with that.
I don't know what, but I love this.
And it became like my most prized possession.
I would go around town showing people this cameo
because I couldn't believe you could pay him $30

And now he's number six on Cameo.
He's the number six most popular Cameo guy.
So I would say to everyone who's seeing this,
purchase a cameo from him and just see what happens.
There's some brilliant, brilliant, weird things.
