That Was Us
John Requa & Glenn Ficarra and Us | Directors & Producers

You know, maybe hoping for a name or whatever. But at the same time, Tiffany said you were in the OJ thing. So we thought... We thought, oh, this is great. The studio knows him. Maybe this isn't far-fetched.

We were sort of bonding over the fact that we were put into these classes that you have to take, the foundation classes, drawing, painting, light color design, sculpture. I mean, some filmmakers can draw and do stuff, but not us. So you're the worst people in the class are the film majors. You're stuck. And so you naturally get together and bond.

And I think, you know, we kind of knew each other from our light color and design class. And then we met at the college bar one night, and we were doing some shtick while drinking a pitcher of beer, and then John just poured the entire pitcher over my head for a laugh. Are you serious? Love ever since.

Well, I just wanted to be a director and I didn't think, I never thought I could do comedy. I just didn't think it was appropriate for me. And John convinced me that I was funny. Funny enough. Funny looking. I didn't know that's what he meant at the time. Right what you know.

They thought you were gonna divide the work. It comes from a pure place, which was in the old days, you know, you would just like... you know, some guy would put his mistress on as a writer or director and a thing. And so they're just trying to make sure of that. But the fact that we wrote together was helpful, that we had been writing together for so long.
