The Jury & The Judge
May 6, 2014
It actually annoys me when people say “you shouldn’t judge people,” or, worse, if a person claims they don’t judge people. This is purely idiotic. Of course we judge people. And we should. It’s pure primal instinct. Fight or flight. You need to assess every situation and person you encounter. If you did not judge

Honest Living
April 26, 2014
In one month, I debut the first pilot I’ve produced since college, Honest Living. I couldn’t have done it without my hilarious co-stars, Dennis Rooney and Tim Thompson. And, of course, our director John Trueson, who not only a great at directing, but also the best person to calm me down when I act all

Waiting for my Squirrel
April 20, 2014
“Artist,” has become a word I don’t really care for. Because “artist” has a negative connatation. It’s a word that makes parents’ cringe when their child in college uses it to describe themselves. Because for every “successful” “artist” we know, there seems to be way more “artists” living with their parents way longer than they

When I was in first grade, I begged my mom not to make me to go school everyday. I just wanted to stay home with her. She, of course, told me I had to go. I didn’t really give her a hard time after I asked once or twice. She would walk me to the

Lori’s Guide to Online Dating
March 30, 2014
Yup. I caved. I joined the world of online dating. As per my recent move to New York City (and my more recent move to Queens), I realized that all my friends in the city were comics. I love comics. 90% of the time, all I want to do is hang out with comics.

30 Rock Spec
March 24, 2014
A spec script is an original episode of an existing show. Writers do this to hone their craft in capturing others voices, in hopes that it will get them work someday. I have a few spec scripts, but my favorite by far is my 30 Rock spec script. The episode is the parody of the 1976 Paddy Chayefsky

The main characters John and Dave get their hands on this drug called “soy sauce.” The sauce then allows them to

French Fry Day
March 3, 2014
March 1st, French Fry Day. This is my own personal holiday. I made it up. It’s the one day a year I eat french fries. This is why. And it starts with soda. There was once a time I drank soda all the time. In the morning, for energy. In the afternoon, for thirst. In
