    I LOVE when people give credit where credit's due. She was so gracious about insisting that Jerry & Larry were to be given credit for what they did. This lady's awesome!

      She knows not to upset Jerry and Larry. It is well known jerry is not a friendly person to non stars or writers. Jerry is a big narcissistic person.

    There needs to be a comprehensive documentary about Jerry and Larry. I know the extras on the dvd but we need a separate new doc that is long with tons of archive clips. And I especially am obsessed by their office. There is a mythological air surrounding it for me. I've seen them doing a clip for something and it was inside their office and the big desk with them at either side and stuff down the middle. That office was the focusing lense that gathered the other lazers from the other writers , like the Death Star , and shot out the mega lazer that were the for all time classic episodes of sitcom.

      @Bootrosgali 2 ปีที่แล้ว
