Number Two and Rising
June 10, 2009 | General
I’m proud to say that Paste Magazine has called me one of the ten filmmakers to follow on Twitter. Specifically I’m #2.
But I’m comfortable being #2. Like when I play squash with my brother-in-law Bob, I’m always the 2nd best player on the court. It keeps me on my toes. Whether it’s Cheney or Avis or poop, I’ve always related more to #2.

Commencement Speech
May 29, 2009 | General
I was asked to give a commencement speech for Luzerne County Community College in Northeastern Pennsylvania last night. My first reaction when they asked me was “what the hell would I have to say”?
Then I looked at the calendar, saw that I’m almost 40, and figured OK I might have SOMETHING to talk about. So I went there and gave at 20 minute speech to 3000 people in the gigantic Wachovia Arena in Wilkes-Barre PA (not far from where we shot “Wet Hot”). I was pretty nervous especially since most of them didn’t have a clue who I was and were wondering what I was doing up there. But everyone was super nice to me and plus they gave me a chicken dinner with my choice of sodas.
I also asked my Twitter followers for their advice, which I ended up reading out verbatim to the crowd. That might have been the best part. I finished the speech by reading these lyrics from Cher’s “Believe”:
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can’t break through
There’s no talking to you
It’s so sa-a-a-ad that you’re leaving
It takes ti-i-i-ime to believe it
But after all said and done
You’re gonna be the lonely one, oh

Episode #28 “Dance Club” is online! It was great to work again with Zak Orth, who’s made me laugh since the days of Wet Hot American Summer and the Stella Shorts. I met Lake Bell recently on the set of Children’s Hospital – she’s one of the funniest, sexiest actresses around. And of course our regulars: Matt Ballard, A. D. Miles and Zandy Hartig (AKA my real life wife). The next episode, “Animator” is coming June 4th. Stay tuned…! |
