No, it's totally different. Stephen said he'd really like to do this sitcom,
and could we let him out of his contract enough to do it? We said yes, and he
told us he'd be available for x-number of episodes. We said great, and he was
paid for the number of episodes in which he appeared. So we were always
willing to work that out.
