And I'm just curious. What was your first job in front of the camera? Like we all have to start somewhere I did on. I've mentioned this before, but I remember the first job I got was actually doing industrial footage. A company? Yeah, I think that was the first thing I did. You remember the first thing that you did? Yes. The first thing I did in front of a camera was a home shopping show. And it was right when they were starting. It was called America's Shopping Place. It would have been in the probably the mid eighties, and it was 24 hours off television, shopping, a programming. And I was on the 2 a.m. 25 a. M. The coveted slot. Exactly. And we took phone calls. We took live phone calls in the middle of the night of people buying cubic zirconia. And I learned so much about being on my feet and dealing with uncomfortable situations. And yeah, I learned a lot. Learned a lot about improvising. And they were trying to replace me to the whole time because I wasn't your typical, you know, kind of home shopping person. And so I would audition my replacements. Wait. They went on the air, they would audition people they wanted to maybe replace you with in front of you in front of me when I would help. Um, of course, being the nice Catholic girl. Go. Oh, this is how you do it. You read from this book, but make sure your eyes are on the camera and you look down and you grab a line and then you look at the camera and I gave her all the tricks of the trade. It does sound very much like you. Let me help you destroy my career. Very nice of you.
