Thanks Diane for pointing this out after seeing part 1 of Joe Vs. Wade:

Hey Wade,
After seeing part one of your movie[JOE VS WADE] on your website [where you say that Joe worked security for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles touring company] , I remember reading something about the guys from 'Stella'

Which brings me to ask this question
Was Joe possibly the Security guard for who would become the stars of Comedy Central's 'STELLA'?

Excerpts from The Onion's Interview with Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain (who collectively make up the comedy group Stella and three-elevenths of The State)

MIB: That's true. Michael [Showalter] was in How I Learned To Drive, which won a Pulitzer Prize. I was in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

DW: Which won a Tony.
O: What was it like touring America as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
MIB: In a word: smelly. My primary memory is that it was smelly, and that there was a lot of pizza involved.
DW: My understanding was that you were not actually in the show, but rather did the live appearances in malls and stuff before the show.

MIB: That's right. Me and Ben Garant from The State toured the country promoting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the show. We were turtles promoting other turtles.

O: Was that a fulfilling experience?
MIB: It was, actually. It was a fulfilling experience financially for me at the time. I was 18 or 19.
O: Do you ever wish you could reprise that role?
MIB: I have. Many times.
MS: Mike's wearing a turtle costume right now.
MIB: I'm dressed as Donatello.
DW: I'm dressed as Benjamin Franklin.
MS: I'm dressed as Bluebeard the Pirate.

WADE RESPONDS:
Diane,
I am not sure. Next time I talk to Joe (probably when the Yankees win the Division playoffs and the Red Sox lose - I will get a call from him), I will ask and let you know.
