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

I mean, because I feel like I could do some things, but the thing that I always say about Dan is that he sort of masks his tremendous heart with his incredible intelligence and wit, right? Like he always, you know he's a smart guy, you know he's incredibly funny, but it almost takes like- And good looking, and good looking. His cheeks are some of my favorite things in the world.

But like you really get a sense of his heart when you read what he writes, right? Like he doesn't lead with sentimentality. Like I think we've seen him cry once. Like when we had that moment during season six, when he brought us all out to the place and like, he sort of like let it down for a second.

The thing is, he is, like what I love about him is that he has a very healthy sense of self. He does, but it's not something that's ostentatious or whatever. Like you kind of have to get close to him and be like, oh, this dude knows he's kind of that dude, but he doesn't really share that part with everybody.
