“There are certain iconic lines where we would joke that there would be riots in the streets if it wasn’t in there. Like ‘You go, Glen Coco!’ Give the people what they want. Give me what I want! But when we were like, ‘Who’s Glen Coco?'” Jayne asked.
“Who can it be?” Perez interjected, adding: “I remember us going, could we ask, like, Harry Styles?”
Jayne agreed: “We were like Harry Styles could be Glen Coco!”
But, Jayne had a caveat. “Then we were like, hold on, we love to break the fourth wall: What if we are all Glen Coco? So, after 20 years, we can all feel like Glen Coco.” ( ATHReditor’s note clarified that the line is actually delivered straight to the camera and audience.)
