Because this season of revisionist history begins with me running. I finally get out of the house, mask up, get on a plane to Arizona, find myself in the parking lot of an Alamo Drafthouse, somewhere on the outskirts of Phoenix. He thinks he's gotten away from me! Not so fast, my friend! Stop! I've done serious seasons of revisionist history. Thoughtful seasons. Considered seasons. But I'm not sure I've ever quite lost it, like I've done this year. What did I do when I came back from Arizona? I know you're part of the Disney empire, Jimmy. I know you are. I went on the Jimmy Kimmel show to go after Disney, the Magic Kingdom.
