I’m super happy for him, but I’m also bummed because I want that f--king gig!”
Joe then admitted that even though he felt jealous, he thought Nick did really well with the show. “I just enjoyed the job, so I was like, ‘what the f–k?' But [Nick] crushed it and, you know, it was great.” he concluded.
