Right. My point was that many of these also have watched the show and have
their own context for it. Others have not seen the show, but think they know
how to play along, based either on the little orientation they get from the
show or probably from an assistant who does watch the show. Ryan is one of
the few (there have been others) who A) Seemed to have not idea about the
show before he got there and B) did not try to act as if he did, and I liked
that.
