writer-star is even busier than usual these days, with three of his many active projects — Hulu’s— rolling out in the coming months. The 46-year-old Chicago native talks candidly about the increasingly “distressing” state of the industry and the challenges of making comedy in the year 2023.Do you think it’s changed the perception of you, either Hollywood’s or your fans’?
That was the first one we sold. How it works is you write a script and, if it doesn’t sell, people read it and then they bring you in for “the water bottle meeting.” You get a fresh water bottle, and they say, “Oh, your script wasgreat.” And inside, you’re like, “If it was so great, why didn’t you fucking buy it?” And then they’re like, “What else are you working on? Oh, here’s a terrible idea we have.
You came up in a very different comedy environment. How much do you worry now about where the line may or may not be? Given all that you’ve done behind the camera, how willing and interested are you in taking projects where you strictly act?
The problem with making comedy is that so few people now dare exhibit a sense of humour. Everyone is deeply offended with any statement which bursts their little bubble .
Insightful interview. 😊
