And when I was young, I would VHS record The Simpsons and then pause it on the writers and write them all letters.

And to this day, one of my biggest mentors and friends is David Merkin, who's like an iconic Simpsons writer.

And every time, like you've been to a screening of early cuts in my movies for notes, like David Merkin comes to every single screening, every table read.

And he was like my childhood hero.

So I wrote them all letters.

when I was, like, seven, eight years old.

And that was my dream.

Like, if I had written for The Simpsons, that, like, would have been more than enough for... Did you write a spec Simpsons script?

Yeah, I've written a ton of spec Simpsons scripts.

Oh, you did?

No.

No, I never, like, sent them to them.

I wrote them, like, as, like, an eight-year-old.

Well, I gotta think all three of you were, like, hams.

Comedic hams, right?

What happened?

Like...

Did you just drift off?

Must have been hams when you were little kids.

If there was a party at my parents' house, I'd do a comedy show.
