When Trump dies, we better not hear one moment of reverence from media like “He was a colorful character that wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but he sure made things interesting.” Should be “America’s biggest piece of shit died today. Turning to sports...”
When I was a kid, my parents told me not to hitchhike because the driver would kill me. When I started driving, my parents told me not to pick up hitchhikers because they'd kill me. Disappointing to realize my parents didn't think I was capable of killing ANYONE
WRITING TIP: When writing pilots, subtly bury characters' backstories in dialogue: "As a former NFL prospect who wrecked his arm in a karate accident and is now divorced and running my family's failing farm, I'll have a Coke." You think you just learned he likes Coke, but...
Ran into Richard Lewis in Improv bathroom 1982, said I'm a fan. RL: "Thanks. You a comic?" me: 'no, just open mics' RL: "Do you go on stage?" me: 'yeah' RL: "Do you tell jokes?" me: 'yeah' RL:"Then you're a comic." He could've just said thanks and left. Never forgot it
We're just gonna have to be way more careful the next time we elect an ignorant racist soulless wannabe dictator pretend billionaire game show host criminal President

Love your tough talk about California trees. Care to share your genius on mass shootings? We had one of those, too, you ignorant coward. Keep fighting the war on wet hair.
A couple years ago, an actor friend texted me asking if I wanted to create a show together. I said Yes. We (along with my wife) sold it, did a pilot, and it was ordered to series. The packaging was done by us with that simple text exchange. No agencies involved. 1/9

On a train to San Diego and I've already got three murders to solve and a guy is waiting to fight me on top of the dining car as we rapidly approach a tunnel
My wife said the magic was gone from our relationship, so I sawed her in half. (Would love to say I wrote this joke 40 years ago, but it's been about 15 minutes)

Hope your ratings were strong, but you were up against strong Sunday afternoon competition of no sports or anything else because of pandemic you lied about and ignored until it was too late and thousands started dying.
"Y'know on my TV show, which was very high-rated, I used to say "You're fired" and now your home has been destroyed by fire, so that's crazy. Ratings went way down after they got rid of me. Big mistake. Okay, comforted? Remember to rake!"

IATSE is a good union for many occupations. Writer is not one of them. Studios should stop forcing writers to join a second union so they can get their shows cheaper. It’s a 60 year old sweetheart deal that needs to end. All writers should be repped by WGA.
“But Julie, you just wrote on Prodigy how can you be broke?!” Welp, I took the job because I love Star Trek &
@brothershageman
but in return got 1/3 of my live action rate, no residuals, no script fees & had to go down a level in title. Eye opening… 🤷♀️

My favorite scene in every movie is when a character is searching for someone, then sees a person whose back of the head looks a little like them, then turns them around and yells the incorrect name at them only to realize their mistake. Inspired filmmaking.
Ok,

had sex with a minor, but he also did this brilliant joke about people dying of a disease he didn't care about. You've got to separate the art from the artist.
