“Rob Schneider and I had written this monologue, and it wasn’t great,” Bob said while appearing on The Howard Stern Show this week. “He was right. He was really mad. He was so mad.”

While talking on the radio show, Bob did an impression of Jeremy and what he said in that moment. He said, “I can sing. I can dance. I can juggle. I am a Shakespearean-trained actor. And you have me doing this?!”

Bob revealed that he secretly was recording the conversation. He said, “I had a little recorder, and I taped it because I loved it so much. And he was right, God bless him. It wasn’t a great monologue, but he’s a trooper.”

“I played it for many people,” he added. “I don’t know where it is now. It’s at the bottom of a bin somewhere. It exists.”
