Hi Scott. I've got a boring question but I'd really like to know the answer. Has it become easier or harder over time to merge running a business that commodifies comedy with being someone who creates comedy? Do you see yourself continuing to wear two hats? And do you think doing so has affected your comedic sensibility or your relationship with comedians in any serious way? As an extreme example of what I'm getting at I think of Lorne Michaels, who started out as a writer and performer but now is almost exclusively seen as a producer.
Love the show, love the podcast, and I'm looking forward to the return of Comedy Bang! Bang! to NYC this weekend. Thanks!
