John Riddle, the voice of an angel.

I mean, it is just, I feel so blessed every single day that not only have I written something, but it's with all of my best friends.

Do you know what I mean?

Yes.

Like, coming to work is an absolute joy.

And I get to be, you know, the greatest singer in the world.

In the world.

You use all of these modern pop culture references.

You reference RuPaul's Drag Race.

You were even weaving in some topical news stories.

There were some Spirit Airlines jokes when I saw it over the weekend.

And then you have an entire improvised portion of the show.

How much of the show is improvised?

And how much do you sprinkle in to just keep it fresh?

We have a whole section of the show that is like kind of fully improvised.

And that was because we were like, again, drunk, LOL, and bad writers in Los Angeles.

And we couldn't figure out how to transition from scene to scene.

And Ty and Connie were like, Marla, why don't you just like, I don't know, improv?

And so I started doing that.

And then it became this thing where people would come back like 10, 12, 15 times because there's a whole section that's completely different, which is very different than a typical Broadway show.
