“’ll give you the best Hollywood story that I’ve never been able to say on the air, and I’ll tell it to you first. This is what I do. I’m not the mogul. But this is what I do. Years and years ago, John Gordon, a producer who used to work for me, and Kevin Smith, the guy who created Clerks, say, “Yeah, we just read a script by these two young actors. It’s fantastic. It’s called Good Will Hunting. We want you to read it. They need a million dollars. They just got their script out of Warner Brothers and they need one million dollars, otherwise Warner Brothers is going to make the movie with DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, and it’s going to be directed by Michael Mann.” I read the script. I have a meeting with these guys. Kevin Smith and John Gordon are there. They say, 'What do you think of the script?' I say, 'I think the script is great, but on page sixty the guy who Robin Williams played and the other professor, they give each other a blow job. I don’t understand that blowjob scene.' And Matt and Ben said to me, “We wrote that for studio executives. You were the only one who ever pointed it out. We had meetings with Warner, MGM, Paramount. We just wanted to see who the fuck read this goddamn thing.”
