We all remember Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, Aaron
Sorkin's self-important show within a show, that was basically a take on
Saturday Night Live, right? No? Nobody? Well, for comedy nerds
the show was actually fun to watch, and one of the bright spots was
real-life lesbian Sarah Paulson's character Harriet Hayes, a Christian
whose beliefs often clashed with the more agnostic executive producers.
But as much as the "Crazy Christians" sketch was the bane of her existence
on the show, so was her very non-Christian ex Matt Albie, played by Matthew Perry:

Matt Albie: Isn't
it possible that Mary got pregnant by another man, and Joseph stepped
up so his wife wouldn't get stoned to death by the village?
Harriet Hayes: No.
Matt Albie: It's more likely that an angel inseminated her, and she gave birth to a magical wizard who could rise from the dead?
Harriet Hayes: He's not David Copperfield!
