Episode 167: John Enbom Interview (Party Down, Veronica Mars)

Episode notes

This is the After Show for Rich Dan Poor Dan by John Enbom, co-creator and showrunner of Party Down. You’ll hear about John’s Hollywood beginnings as a screenwriter, including writing the unsung slacker cinema classic, The Low Life. Then his transition into TV when his friend Rob Thomas hired him onto the staff of Veronica Mars. Andrew and John get deep into the unusual yearslong process that led to Party Down, and the insane story of how that show was made. Veronica Mars and Party Down fans definitely won’t want to miss this one.

We have another live show coming up soon. It’s on Sunday March 16th at 2:00 and at the Elysian Theater in Los Angeles, and we will be reading not one but two episodes of a hilarious dead pilot or I guess a dead show, written by and starring the incredible Riki Lindhome and Natasha Leggero. Riki and Natasha co-created and starred in the Comedy Central show Another Period. But you know them from so many other things as well. Riki is one half of Garfunkel and Oates and you’ve seen her in everything from Big Bang Theory to Knives Out to Wednesday. Natasha you know from her comedy and Chelsea Lately and as a voice actor in one million things. A great cast is coming together for this, it’ll be so much fun.
