I’ve been making jokes for the back of the room for over 30 years. For the last seventeen, I’ve made a living editing funny TV shows. You probably have not seen any of my work, unless you’re a cool comedy nerd.
Chrissy Teigen follows me on the old birdsite, I have no idea how this happened or why.
@stevenrosenthal if you edited Kate Berlant’s episode of the characters, god bless you!! One of my favorite things Netflix put out!
@jessegoldman aww, thank you! I did edit Kate’s ep, with a lot of help from Kate, John Early and the show’s very talented director Andrew Gaynord. I really loved that show, and it’s great to meet the few people who have even seen it!
@stevenrosenthal if I’m remembering right, The Characters was also the first real gamble on Tim Robinson as a singular talent, right?
@jessegoldman it was! Tim’s ep was written with Zach and served for the two of them as a defacto “pilot” for I Think You Should Leave. I edited two sketches and did minor work to others, but I think it holds up to some of the best of ITYSL. The first sketch, Lady Luck” is an absolute classic in Tim’s canon.
@stevenrosenthal oh wow the Lady Luck sketch. Oh shit that one was fantastic.
@stevenrosenthal @jessegoldman that episode belongs to a time when Netflix had a certain magic that has now fled. i miss it!
