I didn’t work on The Batwoman. But I’d be surprised not to see some manner of wrestling sketch in that one.

We sit down together, talk about things unrelated to work for about 30 minutes, then we throw lines back and forth while I type. I almost always do the typing when I’m writing with someone else.
We’re not involved with those kinds of production conversations. Prop and Costume Dept. just gets our sketches like a note that says “I Know What You Did Last Summer”.

Probably? I don’t remember that in particular but everything I’ve ever encountered in my life, whether I remember it or not, I consider gamma rays that feed my creative Hulk.

Forgot to answer your second question. Sketch writing is to joke writing as layer cake is to sheet cake. One takes a little more time than the other, but you’re pretty much looking for the same result.

Guy owns an assortment of crowns so this does not come as a surprise.

Never thought about this before, but he also looks like he and Burt Ward could be brothers.

When you were standing at craft services, looking at all it had to offer, was there anything you craved which you discovered to be missing? What I mean to ask is, “did it lack the nack for a Blac Drac snack?”
I also have the same question for any goodie bags that were passed out.

I work from home, so this only came up when I hadn’t been to the grocery store.

Side question – how do you get into Like Jail, @Longmile149 , and what’s the food like in there? Is it just endless Nutraloaf or do they ever let you have steak-milk? I’m trying to decide if I want to join you!

Who/what would you say were the major influences in developing your sense of humor (comedians, writers, TV shows, movies, etc.)?

Let’s see. A lot of these will be from when I was a kid, but some from when I was older as I feel an artist should always be getting new influences. Like, now, as an adult–Sherman’s Showcase is a huge influence.

Daffy cartoons and The Three Little Bops, Gravedale High, Sam & Max, Freakazoid, this very short lived Fox sketch show The Edge, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Brain Donors, Perfect Strangers, Chuck Barris’ book Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, The A-Team, The Fall Guy, Bob Odenkirk, John Swartzwelder, Little Shop of Horrors, The Monster Squad, Daria, Hudson Hawk, Get A Life, Network, Chris Morris, Frasier, Sealab 2021, His Girl Friday, Evil Dead 2, Batman ‘89, Darkwing Duck, WKRP, Watermelon Man, this Kirk Douglas movie The Villain, Indiana Jones, The Honeymooners, Superman II, this kids’ book called No Jumping on the Bed, this other kids’ book called Wacky Wednesday, The Meteor Man, 3rd Rock from the Sun, The Blues Brothers, Blacula, Death Race 2000, Mama’s Family, Mad, specifically Spy vs Spy.

From the getup, I would have guessed a Leslie Nielsen, Leslie Nielsen, Leslie Nielsen influence drac. But you’re saying Joe Flaherty?

Neither. Bela. But I have always enjoyed local horror hosts, so Count Floyd is fine.

That’s true! It’s the logo for the American Wrestling Association (AWA), a promotion based out of Minneapolis back in the day. I have no idea whose idea it was to put it on the jacket, but shout-out to our incredible Wardrobe department for making Jonah look so good.

Yeah, that was one of the few times in my comedy career where I wrote something and someone looked exactly as I pictured.
