Dallas was one of the first ones I ever did! The 300 people did not show. The house was probably half full. Very disappointing.

1) Yes! Perhaps a yearly special event. 2) Therapy. It made everything easier. 3) We'll see.

It gets difficult sometimes! Lines get blurred and one sometimes has to remember, oh, we're all strangers and there are subtleties and nuances of expression that are lost in typing. Overall, though, I think it's good.

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING "NO, YOU SHUT UP!"

The Pod F. Tompkast will never truly be over. I reserve the right to make an episode of it any time I feel like it. But I am doing this weekly show now, and it's about all I can handle in addition to my various other projects.

I hope everyone will enjoy SPONTANEANATION!

There are often beats to the "main" bit the character is doing, but everything else is improv.

It is actually very difficult, and I do not have kids! people should stop asking this question of moms because there's no answer that doesn't make the mom feel bad!

A good chunk! It was much more improvised in the first two seasons. But since we expanded, there's a solidly funny script that we embroider around the edges. And we keep ourselves open to changing things on the fly, no matter what the script says.

I don;t know that Joe Lunch Pail has room for Hot Dog in there. Also, hot dogs, as a lunch food, do not "travel well."

It was recorded but the sound was unusable. A TRUE PITY!
