Comedy ProducerThe Gurin Company Dec 2014 - Dec 2014I wrote comedic material for host Bob Saget—a career highlight. It was a three-week assignment on a TV pilot that didn't get picked up.

He was a great listener, full of empathy—you could tell he had lived a life of pain, and comedy was how he coped. Rest in peace you sweet, disgusting, hilarious man.
