He waited, a year later, I was in the show, and George [Wendt] said, โLeave the door unlocked so I can come in and change.โ We were all late. I had left the door unlocked. The door slams open, and Woody rips open the shower door, and Kirstie [Alley]โs there with the polaroid and goes โclickโ, and I was immortalized for the wrap show video. The end of the year video.โ
