Sure, I was a little scared of.

And Mike, who I've known forever, going into work with Mike, I know that Mike is one of the rare breeds of humans who work in our industry.

Usually you have someone who writes and creates a show, and then sometimes that person, and it would make sense, isn't great at running the show.

And that means producing it and putting it all together.

It's like sometimes that person is just, sometimes they feel like it's best for that person just to write the show and then they bring in someone called a showrunner.

Very rarely you get somebody who's excellent at both.

Mike is one of those people.

And so it's like having a general manager who is also coaching the team and has just put together a dynasty and understands it in a way that is beyond anything you could ever comprehend.

And so when you're going into it, you're like, okay,

It's clear who's in charge here.

All I have to do is think about like what it is that I have like this little piece that I'm playing in it.

And how do I best serve what he's trying to do?

And so to give some sort of context, there's maybe four people who do it at the top, top level.

And Mike is one of them.

And so.

It's not like JJ.

JJ was a writer on New Girl and that's how we met and then became close with Mike later.

And then our daughters were really close.

Well, that really was like.

Well, it's not that much.
