Show notes

Michael Schur, best known on the internet as Ken Tremendous, is the guest on this special Christmas-week edition of the Awful Announcing podcast.
Schur and Dan Levy spend a good 70 minutes—good in terms of length and, hopefully, quality—talking all about his career as a television writer and producer for Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Parks and Recreation, going back to his days at The Office and SNL as well, and how all that comedy writing compares to what made him internet famous a dozen or so years back: Fire Joe Morgan.
Here is a quick rundown of most of what we discuss during the conversation.
-Talmudic Law and the notion of being "half-Jewish"
-Jews for Jedis
-Christmas with Regis Philbin
-Filming holiday episodes in October (and Halloween episodes in August)
-The legacy of television comedy, and how that's changed from watching re-runs of Gilligan's Island in the '80s to now
-Harold Reynolds, Tom Verducci and John Smoltz
-NFL, Star Wars, DraftKings and the Parks & Rec future of seven companies running the world
-Andre Braugher's comedic presence, and why he doesn't win every award, ever
-Chris Pratt, and if/when Schur knew he was going to be the biggest star on the planet
-Writing comedy for comedians, and the collaborative process of producing quality TV
-Aaron Sorkin
-Donald Trump
