Short's clearly uncomfortable with his character here. He's too jumpy/overdoing it. Just seems to be trying too hard to be Thurmish whereas the YouTube vid of the skit where he's being interviewed by JFK Jr. is great.
@gorillabelly1 - - I think in general that Nathan Thurm was poorly scripted. The premise was great, it just needed someone with enough talent to tease it out. The Kennedy global warming interview was its most successful realization. There was so much unrealized potential in the Nathan Thurm character.
oh thats easy take a paper clip stretch it out and place it through the middle of the cigarette so when you smoke the ash gathers around the metal and doesnt fall off.
I know that.

That cigarette bit is too funny! It has burned all the way down to the filter by the end of the skit. Wonder how they do that?
