Writers Talk

On this new 3rd & Fairfax podcast, the guest is writer Mike Schur who talks about the range of his impressive career that started with being put in charge of the "Weekend Update" segment of SNL with Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon, moving on to the writing staff for The Office for its first four seasons.  From there, he co-created Parks and Recreation.  And then co-creating Brooklyn Nine-Nine.  ​Finally, he gets into his latest series that he created last season, The Good Place.  As I wrote on this pages earlier here, I love the show and am a big fan of its charm, whimsy and inventiveness, and particularly its willingness to try "different."  One "Spoiler Alert" -- if you're still catching up on the show, there is a discussion of the season finale.  As you might imagine, it's a lively and fun interview -- as well as charming and even at times self-effacing.
