Wow, from the guy who tried to saw his own head off to a successful show runner -- nice sequencing! I appreciate his candor. What I don't understand is, if his family endowed Sarah Lawrence College, why didn't he and his Dad go there? I love rooting for an underdog so when a person of privilege reaches this level of creative and financial success, I am compelled to punch something in the face. Marc, you must have amazing microphones because I could hear his topsiders in the background. And then I did a Google image search for him and he looked even more waspy and douchey than I'd envisioned. (I feel the same about Jonah Hill and Jason Segal. They seem like perfectly nice guys and they're funny as hell, but because they grew up really rich, they can go fuck themselves. They should be saving dolphins or building infrastructure in Rwanda -- because only rich kids can afford to do that shit.) But he's had three bona fide hits so he must be doing something right. Something right like Hootie and the Blowfish.

You don't know how right you are about storage. I manage one and it's even worse behind the counter.
