      I tried to write a joke about the Jonestown massacre once but the punchline was too long.

    Anyone who hasn’t seen Barry or similar where Hader plays a more serious role might be skeptical about this, but I’m excited.

      Barry was a great show, I’m looking forward to this as well.

    Nice, Hader is great. If you have not watched Barry it is amazing.

    The original made for TV miniseries with Powers Booth was really well done.
