Episode notes
Welcome to the after show, folks! Andrew sat down with the writer of last week’s pilot Codependent, Mark Gross. Mark spoke to us about all things sitcom writing. We talked about how he got his start in comedy and his early days as a touring stand up comedian. How fellow comic Rodney Carrington helped him break into tv writing and what he learned working with the great Chuck Lorre. He also told us about the key word he has on a post-it by his computer when he’s writing. No spoilers though! Mark offers some great perspective in this one! Enjoy it!
