We did have a script, but it didn't consist of the routines and gags. It outlined the basic story idea and just a plan for us to follow. But when it came to each scene, we and the gagmen would work out ideas.

A lot of our favorite comedies in general are usually directed by writers, whether or not they wrote the original script themselves.

I'd really been wanting to do a television series. I was looking for a comedy.

I've done about six comedies. Oddly enough, the script came to me from one of the guys in Platoon.

I started writing this feature comedy in New York - a Chris Farley vehicle. The script was decent. When I got to LA, I met some new friends in film school and had them read my script and give me notes.

Oh I am trying to remember, we would read the script after we did the show.

I would consider a half hour sitcom if the script was good.

I feel like I work on scripts for comedy as well as dramatic stuff the same.

Nelson McCormack on 'Killing Kennedy' was really terrific because I wrote the script, and he had some terrific ideas. We went over the script together, and I was with him on set. So it was a collaborative effort.

I've had varying luck with comedy in the past, but I'd really like to give that another go. I don't know if I'd chase down a part, but if the right thing came along I could certainly see myself stepping into that zone.
