Turn of the Millennium. One absurdist comic and one former white house intern meet up for a wild 72 hours in Ottawa. Maybe the richest fabric is the friends we make along the way.
One of my comfort youtube videos. I will not elaborate

worth a watch it’s unfortunately still very accurate about how the us is run lol
on the “ban”/removal: “Yes, it was pulled after its initial airing & it's easy to see why. BUT what always amazed me was that NBC let it on in the first place.
It did go through an extensive note process, beyond the Standards dept & up the executive ladder. I remember adding the "voices in my head" line per their request to make the narrator seem crazier, not that it made a big difference. But, to their credit, there was a real willingness not to censor the piece. It helped that Lorne Michaels supported it & that my cartoons were, at the time, one of the more popular things on the show (this was loooong ago). It went all the way to "NBC West Coast" honcho Don Ohlmeyer, who okay'd it even with the Norm/OJ reference. (Google it if you don't know)
I remember the cartoon aired much later than the usual TV Funhouse, because Lorne said Bob Wright, the President of NBC (who had NOT seen it) usually turned the show off after Weekend Update. On this night, however, Bob Wright got home late, and saw what he saw.
Months passed and all was calm until Adam McKay approached me. A pissed off crew member had let Adam know the sketch was being cut from the rerun, replaced by a second Backstreet Boys song, which had no mentions of GE polluting the environment. I wasn't especially surprised but Adam was fired up. He leaked the story to a few TV journalists who'd written about the cartoons, NBC claimed it wasn’t funny (not that it was)and that's why people know & still talk about it today.”

For all those out there who equate being useful with being valuable - this phrase can change your life. Remind yourself every day.
You can be gentle and compassionate and assertive and confident. These things are not mutually exclusive.
At the end of all this… what do you really want?
