‘John, you have given me words of encouragement and inspiration while the cameras were rolling, but you’ve done it a lot when they weren’t. And I’ll never forget it. Even at my age, that helps. That helps define what I’m supposed to do. And this has been a dream. And I thank you all for letting me be a part of this,’ Bryan said.
John told Bryan that he loved the ‘spirit of gratitude’ that he brought to the show and said he loved working with him.
