It was something far worse. Conway never followed the script. Not occasionally. Not by mistake. But deliberately. One night, during a sketch they\u2019d performed before and thought they had under control, everything seemed normal\u2026 until it wasn\u2019t. Out of nowhere, Conway made a move no one had rehearsed. In that split second, Korman felt it in his gut\u2014the safety net was gone. The script didn\u2019t matter anymore. He wasn\u2019t acting through the scene; he was just trying to survive it. And there, under the bright studio lights, the line between performing and simply hanging on completely disappeared."},"content":{"rendered":"
