AS 25: You F***d Up a Great Thing (with Jeff “JahFurry” Newelt)
American Splendor scene #25 (1:15:00 to 1:18:33) — The scene begins with another Letterman appearance. But to quote Harvey, “between the lump and loneliness… [he] never felt more like a sell-out hack.” Harvey dons an “On Strike Against NBC” shirt and the show goes downhill from there, winding up in chaos. Joyce finally, happily returns, but the scene ends ominously as she discovers Harvey’s lump. Josh & Dean are joined by Jeff “JahFurry” Newelt!
