I have worked with a great many comedians as opposed to comics, although I have worked with comics as well, I make the distinction. ↗

I've been trying to find women writers for my staff for a while now and I have three women on my staff and three guys so it's pretty equal. I don't know why that is. It's been the same thing for a while. It's hard for female comedians to stand out. That's weird. That's a shame. ↗

I love mixing with comedians when I'm working with them, but when I'm not I don't feel the need to hang around with them. ↗

Canadian comedians are generally more well-rounded... They have to do a lot more. In order to have a career in this country, you have to do everything. And in the States you can narrow-cast, you can be just a sitcom performer or a stand-up comedian or a sketch performer. ↗

I used to like writing for comedians - I enjoyed the challenge of making other people funny. ↗
