Helberg had an interesting way of dealing with the negativity. Instead of piling on more negativity and blowing off the hater, he reacted in the opposite manner.Simon claims that he would opt to buy a hater a coffee instead and at times, even a bagel...
"So, a guy comes up and goes, 'I can't stand it, but my roommate loves it so it's on in the background and anyway I read about your negotiations. Wanna buy me a cup of coffee?' And I was like 'Yeah, you had me at you hate my show. Would you like a bagel to go with that?"
