I have complete faith in your ability to perform crap-ass stand up. Wait, that came out wrong . . .
I mean, the guy's stand-up was interesting, and I can see where they might think he had the potential to write decent comedy. But hiring him on the spot makes them look like a pair of horse rustlers out to lasso them some minority folks, and the message seemed to be that, if you can't find anyone funny, you might as well just pick someone well-behaved and palatable. Makes. No. Sense.
