  "account": "In a recent interview, Billy Crystal revealed that the losses he has experienced in the past year — including the burning of his Palisades home and the murder of his friend and collaborator Rob Reiner — have affected his relationship with God. Crystal, who previously detailed his conversations with God in his Tony-winning one-man show \"700 Sundays,\" admitted that he no longer trusts God, stating, \"No, 'cause I — I don’t trust him.\" He explained that the Earth is in a \"bad shape\" and the current time is \"weird, scary.\" Despite the challenges he has faced, Crystal emphasized the importance of humor in coping with tough times, saying, \"That's what I do. You have to, man. You’ve gotta. It's a healer.\" The interview, which aired on CBS Sunday Morning to promote Crystal's upcoming return to Broadway, primarily focused on his healing journey after the major losses. Crystal expressed optimism about the future, saying, \"If we've gotten through this in the way that we've gotten through it, we're doing OK.\"",
