That's one of the benefits of working with a smaller network like IFC. You're awarded more trust, but trust that I really earned.

I probably could be a world-class screenwriter by now if I had spent the kind of work I devote on Comedy Death-Ray to that. But I do okay, in that regard. I mean, my stuff gets bought, so it's all right.

I love all of our subpodcasts.

The best sketch shows are from a group of tight-knit people whove worked together for a really long time.

You have to pay your dues. And what's nice, after booking a lot of new people... I counted the other day. We're in September and we've already booked between 30 or 40 people who've never done the show before.

You become a victim of your own success. It's what happens in TV when Fox has a big hit with the X-Files. And they start chasing and the rest of their shows suffer. Because the experimentation that made the X-Files a show is all of the sudden lost.

Thank you for listening to Comedy Bang Bang! My name is Scott Aukerman and I will see you next week.
