Hi Vincent - I'm an alum and while I don't really have a question at the moment, I just wanted to let you know that we in the alumni community are really proud of you and Mr. Odoms. I've donated a bit to your cause in the past and intend to do so again.

I actually watched the entire series over the weekend - really love your sensibility and am looking forward to watching more. There's sort of a Todd Barry meets Steven Wright meets Ricky Gervais thing meets Sasha Baron Cohen that really works for me. I'm not sure where they'd all be meeting, but it sounds like a cool place.

Two questions:

1. My wife is convinced that Sue Stanford was either in on the joke or has an acting background - any truth to that? She was just too perfect.

2. Also, were you really at any risk with the Mall Santa bit? Fun to watch, but I can't imagine that you'd have been able to get clearances from the network to do the shoot or from any of security those guys to use their faces for broadcast.
