Introduced as the greatest golden ticket winner in the show's history. Deadpan, halting set of premises rather than polished jokes - hot-boxing his garage, sawing a woman in half with modern medicine, and going back in time to circumcise and convert baby Hitler rather than kill him. In the interview he said his car had been towed in LA after he misread a parking sign, and pitched two movie ideas: a man who turns his cat into a woman ('What's New Pussycat?') and Air Bud as President of the United States. Tony joked he was on ketamine.
