Trivia[]
- On an episode of 60 Minutes, "60 Minutes Crowe", Crowe said the following in response to his appearance on South Park: "I think they are very, very funny men, and I wish them godspeed, and I hope they continue to do what they’re doing. For me, if there was something for me to learn from it, it is the analogous thing because I did think the whole thing was a fight, I did think my whole career was a struggle. I was born in Seatoun, New Zealand, in Wellington, and we're talking up here in a hotel in New York. That's a long way."
