Re: “The Uma interview”

Yeah, Uma is Uma Thurman. Did she go to the same high school as J or not? (Amherst-experts raise your voice…) I think the whole joke is mostly about J having a crush on Uma. First he says that nobody is smiling anymore since she left, and when Kim asks about him and Uma it’s "too painful" to talk about. Especially because J looks and sounds so tormented (if you took it seriously, you might think he is about to start crying), the whole scene is extremely funny.
