When you are 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.000 a fan of a sitcom and you go to the 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.880 live taping, your favorite memories are when the actors flub 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:28.240 their life. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.320 Oh my gosh, Yeah, your favorite moments are. 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.720 Not watching everybody nail it and get the thing you're 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.960 getting on TV.
