So, you do that 22 times a season for seven years — it becomes your life, and when you leave, it’s very, very strange.” And when asked about the dynamic with his costars, he said, “The cycle of asshole would start with (Rob) Schneider chiding me as a rookie in front of everyone and then proceeding to treat me like garbage for two weeks straight.”
