Hi David. This is kind of long, but I'm wondering if you remember this.
Me and a few friends came to see a live taping of The State (1994, I'm guessing). On our drive to Queens, my car broke down somewhere on the BQE. Due to insane traffic and the breakdown, we were going to miss the early taping. There was a later one, so once my car was fixed (overheated), we headed on to see if we could get in. We were told, Nope, sorry. At some point, a friend of mine told your audience person that we had driven up from West Virginia, which was a lie. We came from New Jersey.
In between tapings, you guys came in to see the people who didn't get in to the show, and we were continuing with our West Virginia lie to see if it would have any sway. Someone told you, and you pulled some strings to get us in. During the taping, you then walked up the bleachers to the last row to where we were (you were wearing a tux for a sketch), and told everyone in the audience to be quiet. You then announced to everyone that we had come all the way from West Virginia. People applauded. We felt terrible. But I mean, we got to see The State.
So I apologize for lying to you, but wanted to thank you for doing what you did. It was super nice. We were just a bunch of dumb 18 year olds who really wanted to see The State.
So, my question is, do you remember that? That was awesome.
And, as should be no surprise to anyone, you were much nicer than Michael Ian Black.
