It's Weird To Say, But Every Time

When You're Doing A Pilot, You're Doing It In This Bubble That Almost Works Against The Creative Impulse. You Don't Have Time To Get To Know The Actors First, And You Have Three Writers, As Opposed To A Room Full Of Writers.

I Was A Product Of A Divorced Family And I Used Humor As A Weapon To Combat Sadness. I Used Comedy To Make My Mother Laugh In Light Of The Darkness That She Faced, And To Me It Became A Very Powerful Tool At A Very Young Age, At Six. I Saw How Therapeutic It Could Be.

My Idol Growing Up Was Charlie Chaplin. I Was Obsessed With Him. I Mean, While Other Kids Were Watching Jim Carrey And The Likes In The '90s, I Was Watching Charlie Chaplin Films, Because I Was A Bit Of A Geek. I Became Obsessed With This Idea Of Physical Comedy.

Josh Gad And I Have Been Friends Since The Time He Auditioned For Modern Family. I Directed The Pilot For That, And That's How We Met.
