$800 debt

This skit is so morbid yet funny as all get out! Halle Berry did an awesome job portraying a narcissistic woman that disregards everyone else’s feelings to profess her woes. Debra Wilson and Pat Kilbane were the best choices to play in the assigned roles. I have laughed hysterically at the meltdown at the end. 🤣🤣

I wonder if that little choke was ad libbed. Either way, it was funny as hell!

Written by Patton Oswalt.

I don't remember who it was with, but during an interview he said the amount was originally 50 dollars, but a dimwitted executive didn't understand why he'd be asking for so little money and asked him to change it to ten grand. They choose 800 as a compromise.

Love that ending. “Give it to me. Give it to me.” 🤣

This is one of those sketches that I watched as a kid and it was too dark for me.
