Aline Brosh McKenna

I was very afraid and I did not know what I... I will say that the BAFTAs were the same night as the Writers Guild Awards.

And I was like, gee, do I go to the BAFTAs and mingle with these, like the most fabulous people that I've worshipped for so long?

Or do I go to the basement of the Beverly Hilton with my fellow writers?

God bless.

who I've spent a lot of time with on various picket lines.

I know exactly what that shape is.

And so I had to go be with my folks in the basement, freezing cold basement of a hotel.

Don't regret it, but would have liked to have been at the Baptist.

Because I had friends in the improv group, because I know people out here who really do

comedy comedy like you know friends who worked on The Office or worked on Friends or worked on I don't I understand that I write comedy and I write funny lines but I don't think of myself as being in the comedy world in the way that like Bloom is a stand-up Bloom is an improviser Bloom knows all the people at UCB and I've met a lot of comedians through her and I know a lot of comedians but I think of what I do is as the the bad version is like drama with jokes

I don't fetishize comedy cred the way a lot of comedy people do.

And that started in college at the Lampoon.

So I wrote a funny column for the paper and I directed comedies, but I wasn't writing sort of highbrow comedy, which is what the Lampoon was, which is like this really like brain heady comedy.

The things that I have always found funny are things that come from emotion and

heart and soul and embarrassment and like really immediate human experiences.

Because I do.

No, I don't.

It's I can't even explain to you how little I ever.

That's wild to me.

The only thing I ever worked on that I thought give us the awards was when I worked with.
