I had met him once at a dinner party, like 10 years ago. Life is so weird. He lied to me and said, “Oh, you’ve been on my mind. I've been watching your work. I like your stuff.” The real reason it turns out is his producing partner, Jeff [Ingold] was in the small town that I live in. I take these long, meandering walks where I'm listening to music. I was probably listening to, like, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered ” kind of dancing around.
He and Brett pitched me this idea about a shrink who was grieving himself and basically going through a nervous breakdown while he continued to practice therapy. There would be this kind of even mix of big comedy and set comedy pieces, but also real pathos and we were gonna handle the grieving as honestly as possible. That seemed like this really tasty mix of everything I was looking for.
Jimmy is grieving the loss of his wife, and he does some stuff that could make him very unlikeable, but you continue to root for him. I don't know if it's just because you're so apparently such a happy guy, and charming that it works so well? I’ll be personal with you: I don't wake up happy. I wake up having to do a lot of work to get to happy and me taking long meandering walks, listening to “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” is less the expression of a happy-go-lucky guy and more someone who's working pretty hard to get to zero.
