He was never with Second City as far as I can tell… let alone the Chicago wing. He’s an LA guy. He might have done some stuff with the Groundlings but he’s not Second City.

When did Sarah’s “character” become mildly retarded? I liked _Jesus is Magic_, though it was uneven, but in the new show she comes off idiotic and self centered instead of clueless.
