Age 43

New gigs Host of The Writers’ Room on Sundance; co-writer, co-director of Fox Searchlight’s The Way, Way Back

So when you’re talking to guests on The Writers’ Room, how do you approach these guys who run some of the most popular shows on TV?

I love discussing the ins and outs of the collaborative nature of writing. It’s not a story we hear when we hear about people talking about their favorite shows.
