Show notes

Mark Proksch (The Office/What We Do in the Shadows/Better Call Saul) talks about growing up bagging groceries in Wisconsin, helping to make Menards commercials through college, then temping around the United States for about a decade before he created an insane morning TV character that got the attention of The Office producers who hired him from those videos.
