Happy 100th to my comedy hero, @MelBrooks!
My dad showing me the original Producers (which remains history’s perfect comedy premise) was that singular moment that made me most want to write
Hail to the King of the Comedy Fraternity and Thanks for the Century of Brooks!
Hey! @ilazer is the greatest and in Houston tonight!
Got to talk with her for the first time in a decade about how her amazing turn on Broadway with George Clooney led to her enjoying the tension between set-ups and punchlines all the more!

Enjoyed delving into the process of comedy-magician Michael @carbonaro , who seems to be loving the freedom of touring after bringing his TruTV series The Carbonaro Effect to a close.

One for the bucket list: Got the chance to interview the legendary @WilliamShatner!
At 94 years old, Shatner’s got a storied history in Hollywood, the generous spirit to reminisce and a curiosity for what the future holds
