Most Extraordinary Space Investigations: Episode 05
For this episode we filmed at Sarah’s old apartment (the one that they copied the look of for her place on The Sarah Silverman Program). I can’t remember 100% but I feel like Dan quickly scripted one or two of the scenes in this episode. We still did it all in one night, but I […]
Most Extraordinary Space Investigations: Episode 04
This is a strange one. I pitched the idea that we go to home depot and pay for the services of an immigrant worker, but rather than put him to work helping us paint a fence or whatever they would normally do, we’d pay him to act in our show. It was a tough sell, […]
Most Extraordinary Space Investigations: Episode 03
This episode is a great example of how every idea we pitched somehow found a place within the episode. I honestly don’t think we left a single idea out of this one. Again we got together around 6pm and started brainstorming. Cancer. Kick boxing. Kidnapping. Mustaches. A talent show. These were all ideas we collectively […]
Most Extraordinary Space Investigations: Episode 02
2005. Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab were working with Sarah Silverman developing what would later become “The Sarah Silverman Programme”. We had to make a second episode, so Dan invited Sarah to be the newest cast member on our sloppy space adventure series. She agreed and we all met up at my place around 6pm […]
Most Extraordinary Space Investigations: Episode 01
Dan Harmon was hanging out at my shitty apartment in Sherman Oaks one night in 2005 because we were developing some show for Fox that never got past the first pitch, and we spontaneously decided to make a 101 show. We called up my good pal Sevan and got to work. No script, just following […]
Reporters: Episode 05
The final episode of Reporters. The channel101 audience had had enough. I actually thought this episode was pretty hilarious. Ryan Nagata let me borrow his super realistic looking guns, and we accidentally somehow got a totally unplanned cameo from Simon Helberg (Big Bang Theory) as one of the henchmen. I love this episode because there […]
Reporters: Episode 04
The best episode of Reporters hands down. Vatche just drank a bunch of whiskey and we wrote down a bunch of questions to ask him. I recorded his answers and then edited in Kelsy and I asking the questions. I Remember laughing my ass off while editing this. I was SURE that this episode was […]
Reporters: Episode 03
This is a special episode. Rob Schrab (Scud the Disposable Assassin, Sarah Silverman Programme, Monster House) called me with an idea he had based on the stupid flicker effect I did in the edit at the end of episode 02. I handed the show over to Schrab for him to write/ produce/ direct/ and edit […]
Reporters: Episode 02
Can you believe it? The channel101 audience wanted more of this show. Late 2006/ early 2007. This time I sat down and scripted an episode out and spent a lot more time with pre-production. We planned locations, made sets, etc. I don’t know if the end result is a better show or just one that […]
Reporters: Episode 01
Made for Channel101 in late 2006 (I think?) by me, Kelsy Abbot, and Vatche Panos. I have to say, this show’s saving grace is Vatche. I was actually able to suffer through these again recently just so I could see him as Chief Wilcox. He’s hilarious. This episode definitely had no script. We used the […]
