And even though you didn't get that job, because you did well that means they'll keep bringing you back in. But when you really just need a job to pay your rent, that stops being very consoling.

It's really amazing to be a part of something that people have an emotional response to, even though it's a network sitcom. When you get a chance to meet fans or interact with them, you realize that there are a lot of people who the show speaks to, and that they really get something out of it, beyond just laughing. That's really fulfilling.
