The sad thing for Riggle, is at least a stand up comedian who knows he is bombing can reach into some backup joke bag and try to fix things. Riggle probably knew he was bombing but he had to follow the teleprompter and skit script even if he knew he could improv his way out.
Reminds me of high school teachers putting on a terrible movie at the beginning of class and you know you can't leave and also can't sleep because you have to turn in notes on the way out.
question for SE: I'm getting front brakes done next week by a friend of a friend. parts cost $57 (pads and rotors) and he said it will take him about an hour to do the job. He said price for that is up to me. How much would you pay him? I have an amount in mind and it's:
Did you buy the pads and rotors or are you letting him do that since he knows exactly what you need? I'd probably throw on another $10 or so for that if he did the purchasing.
though if it takes him an hour, he's slow-playing you. my little cousin did front pads/rotors for me about a month ago and it took him 30 minutes. and 5 of that was me harassing him about when he's gonna be old enough to drink a beer with me.
