Angela - Tell me about the writers


Sure, Angela. We have a wonderful writing staff. They range in age from 30-ish to 50-ish. I hired them not just because they were experienced and funny writers, but also because of life experience. A lot of them have had whole other careers before entering show business and I think that's really valuable in a writer's room.

I certainly couldn't do it without them. We're very much a family - very supportive of each other. And when you see someone's name on an episode, the whole writing staff has contributed to that script, with the knowledge that when its someone else's turn they'll get the same support.

It's all about putting ego aside and what makes the episode the best it can be. On some shows, people get possessive about material and what's my joke and what's your joke, but we don't do that here -- we're all proud of everything.

Where do you actually shoot the show? LA or NYC?

Are you planning any cameo appearances from other gifted actors?
