Good Things

And that’s the thing about our show: what are they going to do put on the poster? I don’t know. It’s always easier when you have someone like Cedric the Entertainer where you can go, “You know this guy. You love this guy. Watch his sketch show.” And then people tune in and go, “I though I knew that guy. I don’t love that guy in a sketch show.”

But the great thing about shows now is since we’ve been doing (Comedy Death Ray), they have lightened up on their booking policies a bit more and are booking somebody who isn’t famous and who hasn’t been around ten years. It’s great to see people who’ve done our show – the first big show they’ve ever done – now they can play around town.

I get inspired when I look at Tom Lennon, who did Reno 911! for six seasons while writing huge movies and directing, and also doing other pilots; he did that FX pilot, the Star Trek thing.

I probably could be a world-class screenwriter by now if I had spent the kind of work I devote on Comedy Death-Ray to that. But I do okay, in that regard. I mean, my stuff gets bought, so it’s all right.

I probably felt some sense of relief, because when you’re on this continuous production cycle and you’re doing a show for a network where they expect you to come back every May or every June, you just don’t get time to sort of recharge.
