    I think my post sounded snarkier than I intended. I'm sorry for that - I wasn't trying to suggest in any way that Jake should have asked Adam about it. I know I wouldn't do that to one of my favorites.

     

    I just meant that I'd love to hear Adam's side of the story about it in some forum. Bruer has generated a lot of publicity for himself in recent years by talking on Stern and plenty of other interviews about his issues with McKay, Higgins, Cheri Oteri and Chris Kattan. As an SNL nerd, I always enjoy hearing about the backstage drama at the show, as lame as that it is to admit..

     

    Didn't come off snarky. My "heh" was snarky as if to say, "Oh, I know the story."

    I would never expect Jake to ask Adam about this since they are friends, but I'd love to hear Adam respond to Jim Bruer's claims that McKay and Steve Higgins sabotaged his time on SNL.

     

    Jim's allegations have always seemed sketchy to me, since Adam seems like such a cool guy. It'd be interesting to know Adam's side of the story because I'm sure he views things quite differently.

     

    Heh.

    So, what I gathered from this is that Tommy is a very nice and sincere guy trying to make art, even if nobody else thinks he is good at it, and he gave Greg an apartment and helped his career and the only reason Greg is on this podcast or anybody knows who he is is due to the cult success of The Room... and then Greg wrote a book and comes on here talking shit about Tommy Wiseau and trying to convince everyone he is too cool for The Room and he always thought Tommy was a joke? Fuck you, Mark

     

    Maybe Tommy Wiseau's secret power isn't vampirism but that everything he writes becomes true because Greg is a fucking backstabbing piece of shit

     

    Oh hi, DEATHMAN. I can see how you'd feel that way, but Tommy and Greg are still friends! I hosted his book release at the New Beverly out here and Tommy showed up to the delight of the crowd. He supports the book. The only thing Tommy was upset about is that Greg said he dyes his hair. According to Tommy, "for your information, I do naht dye my hair and you need to change that." He also disagrees with Greg's opinion that "The Room" is a bad film. Other than that, Tommy doesn't seem to be upset by what Greg has written.

     

    The book is about Tommy and Greg's friendship which is very real and at times bizarre. Greg's story with Tommy is just as bewildering as "The Room" itself. Having met all of the cast and talked with them, it seems like everyone knew the movie was going to be a "disaster." What's interesting to me is that everyone went along with it because at the end of the day, they wanted to be in a movie.

     

    It's an endlessly fascinating story and Tommy is truly a unique spirit on this planet. I can totally see Greg's book coming across exploitative to some and if Tommy was completely out of Greg's life it could be very easily dismissed as a mean spirited "tell-all." But the reality is, Tommy is still in Greg's life today. The few things Tommy takes issue with in the book are just as bewildering as everything else in the life of Tommy Wiseau.

    A very interesting episode, though it is odd how Jake lets Fowley off the hook with regards to all the Runaways rumours, saying that he seems too nice to have been like that, in spite of Fowley's extremely unboundaried sexual remarks to Miss Wendy and Lady Satan, all of which are brushed over by them and certainly not encouraged. And that's before Fowley's non-denial denials start!

     

    To not talk about it would've been irresponsible. To grill him further would've been a different kind of conversation than belongs on this show. If I ever get the chance to talk to Cherie, I would love to hear her story.
