Except the part where you get to watch Dan just shit all over and belittle one of the best writers in the room Megan Ganz because of his weird little incel misogyny shit. He admitted to all of it and apologized in his podcast Harmontown.

I wouldn’t be able to put up with it. Or at least, I hope I wouldn’t.

I think the buzz around Yellowjackets is a bit overblown.

So if you hear all the hype online and begin watching and waiting for the moment it gets so good that you understand the excitement, I think you will be disappointed

I watched it and thought it was cool and had enough cool mystery to keep my interest, but I don't think it ever reached a great or amazing level.

Do you want to write 30 Rock or do you want to write TGS?

30 Rock is a very demanding show with a very high level of quality. If I worked there, I'd probably be worked to death and my poor quality of ideas would probably result in all my dumb fart jokes getting rejected.

If you wrote for TGS, as far as I can tell the show is utterly terrible. Just recycle an old fart doctor sketch and call it a day. But then you gotta deal with Tracy who doesn't rehearse and Jenna who constantly locks herself into her dressing room

The Day Today: Iannucci, Morris, Coogan and Schneider brainstorming genius comedy ideas and laughing their arses off

The Sopranos, with David Chase sleeping on the couch while everyone else writing like crazy only for him to wake up, grab a marker and outline the entire season beat by beat including crucial points in different episodes. Wanted to be there just to see the other writers' faces, lol
