Holy. shit. It’s like the best parts of Sports Night, West Wing, and Studio 60 rolled into one. Also, don’t think that opening tirade didn’t recall the Studio 60 pilot, Mr. Sorkin.(via imwithkanye)
When the script leaked, I thought it was too good to be true. Thank goodness I was wrong. I cannotWAIT for this.
Clearly Worth Seeing: Anchorman 2 is ON! Hopefully Brick Tamland will return.
If I did this at my mall food court all of the jerks at the T-Mobile kiosk would laugh at me.

Ran around New York City today with Evan Richards.
It’s tough to associate creativity with mental illness because obviously if you’re very ill, it gets in the way. … But one of the theories now is that the terrible swings of the mental illness – of bipolar depression – you get these manic highs, these euphorias, where the ideas just pour out of you. And you need to write them down. That’s followed by this dismal low period when maybe you’re a better editor. Maybe it’s easier for you to focus and refine those epiphanies into a perfect form. … The thinking is maybe the correlation exists because the swings of mental illness echo the natural swings of the creative process.
