Transcript
00:00As you know, I'm sure Chris Hansen had some choice words about the film, calling it an insult.
00:06Obviously, that's going to happen.
00:07I was wondering if you were prepared for that kind of pushback and what your response is.
00:12Well, I really want him to see the movie, and I'm excited for him to see it.
00:18And I want him to know.
00:21I don't know if he has even remembered doing this, but so much of the movie comes from the inspiration,
00:27how the movie even came to be.
00:30Was a cameo he had made for me from, you know, like almost five years ago.
00:36In the cameo, he congratulated me for making this film I made called Sperm World.
00:40He told me to have a seat, and then he started plugging his new investigations.
00:44And my wife purchased this for me well before I had ever received a Joan Sings brilliant script through Rob.
00:51And when I saw the cameo, I was so interested.
00:54I was fascinated by, you know, the guy I grew up with, this crusading journalist who also was an entertainer,
01:01but in this case had basically adopted this, like, entertaining, this sort of strange self-performative version of himself.
01:10Almost like a man has fully become and embraced the meme.
01:14And it really stuck with me, and it, like, almost crystallized, you know, like, I bookmarked it in my head.
01:21I was like, I want to do something with that.
01:23I don't know what, but I love this.
01:25And it became, like, my most prized possession.
01:27I would go around town showing people this cameo, because I couldn't believe you could pay him $30 and he
01:33would do it.
01:33And now he's number six on cameo.
01:35He's the number six most popular cameo guy.
01:38So I would say to everyone who's seeing this, you know, purchase a cameo from him and just see what
01:45happens.
01:45There's some brilliant, brilliant, weird things.
