In Guffman, it was due to talent, but with our show it’s because the narrator’s drunk. My ultimate dream is that the show has a Waiting for Guffman quality, where people are trying really hard but for some reason, it’s just not going that well. I directed all three parts of the Christmas special. I thought that story might not be as funny but I knew he would commit to getting drunk and making such an important moment in history so messed up.ĭid you approach the material any differently this time around? Then I had Craig Ansette tell the George Washington story. It’s a simple story and in Rich’s hands it gets crazier and crazier. I think that story is cute and when something’s too cute, I’m like, “Let’s get someone that can make it funny and insane. Then there’s Rich Fulcher, who narrated the Teddy Roosevelt Christmas tree tale. I just kept picturing it being like a play where Phil Hendrie was voicing each character on stage. Phil Hendrie, who narrated the Charles Dickens’ segment for Colin Hanks, was the first person I thought of since it would require all those unique voices. I have a better grasp of which story would be great for a certain narrator more than which story would fit for a particular re-enactor.

When RealDailyWire senior editor Emily Zanotti tweeted Saturday to urge those upset with the students not to dox them by revealing their personal information, Friedman replied: “Doxx ‘em all.” His tweet is archived here. One of the teens, Nick Sandmann, issued a statement saying he had not sought the confrontation and bore no ill will to Phillips. He said he was trying to defuse a confrontation between them and another group. On Sunday, additional video showed that Phillips had walked up to the teenagers.
