![]() ![]() I’m very lucky to have jumped into this with Ilana Rose Glazer, the ballsy, curly-haired, openhearted, nineteen-year-old girl that cracked me up that night at the corner of the bar at McManus. We bring back what we’ve learned on the other sets, in the other negotiations, in the other writers’ rooms or press situations. We both have individual careers now, but those other projects have only been motivating and inspiring to each other and the show. ![]() But it’s the problem-solving aspect of this industry, the producing, the strategy, the realizing that we could put our heads together and figure out the best solution, that has made our relationship and friendship what it is. Looking back now at over ten years of doing comedy and running a business with her I can see how our collaboration has expanded and contracted. We actually FaceTime when we’re not in the same city and are constantly texting each other ideas for jokes or observations to potentially use (I recently texted her from Asheville: girl with flip-flops tucked into one strap of tank top). When we’re writing together she types, because she’s faster and better at grammar. When we’re stressed, I pace around and use a weird neck massager I bought online that everyone makes fun of me for, and she knits. We have such a strong partnership and have learned how we work most efficiently: I need coffee, she needs tea. But it’s my relationship with Ilana that I cherish most. “It truly is a team sport, and we have the best team in town. ![]()
