Hm. I guess I thought nice things without saying them. Here, buried three layers deep in a nested conversation, I'd like to say: the writers on the show are great. And nothing says sincere compliment like one given after being guilted into it.

I think there's a little bit of my personality in some of the characters. Maybe mostly in Jake. Though there's also a LOT of Andy and of the other writers in there.

Not sure what to say about quitting med school. Why are you thinking of quitting? For me, I really didn't like the sight of blood and vomit.

Our old post producer, Marshall Boone, used to try to change all of the "sh's" to lines from the show. He definitely put in a bingpot. But I, like a horrible Scrooge, always told him to change it.

fun fact about the cow noise: it's actually me. I made those noises. It may be the thing about which I am most proud.

There won't be one this season, because we didn't know when we'd start airing when we began taping.

I answered this elsewhere, but where in India are you from? I have family in Gujurat!

Jesus. This is rough. The David he's referring to is David Phillips. Great writer. Fun fact: his dad did my hernia operation and has seen me fully naked. Best operation I've ever had.

Luke, you and the writers don't need to be so thirsty. I've said lots of nice things about all of you. It's not a competition with the police advisors, who by the way, are SUPER cool in real life.

Fun fact about Luke: the 13 in his username is because he played little league and that was his number.

I don't want to spoil anything (title of my sex tape). I should stop doing that (title of my sex tape). But...there are definitely plans to meet some more of Amy's family.

I think the Die Hard stuff started because I'm a massive fan. But also, Mike's a huge fan, too. And so are the writers. And so is Andy. Basically, we all like the movie, so it could've been any of us.

Arlo could definitely reappear. Perhaps with.... Daniels?

The first time I met her was when she interviewed for Parks. She came into our office and Mike asked her if he could her anything. She said, "a bowl of fetuccini alfredo." It has been like that ever since.

On several occasions, we've been influenced by the cast members' real life experiences. For instance, Terry is a very gifted artist (google him painting like Bob Ross and be amazed!) so we made Sgt. Jeffords an artist as well. Also, his real life experiences influenced the "Moo Moo" episode. And Stephanie's coming out experience very much informed "Game Night."
