@BootedUp I get what you're saying, but in this case the bad TV performance happens to correlate with bad performance in office.
It's not just that the guy stuttered a bunch. In part he was stuttering because he couldn't backup his performance in office. It's just really hard to come up with the words to explain failure.
It would be one thing if he was kind of quiet but everybody could see that he did a good job in his role, but he just couldn't really explain good things that he did because they don't really exist very solidly.
His performance sucked, but also it sucked that his record was so bad that he needed a performance.
