GRIDSKIPPER: DEBRIEFER
You were one of the original writers on Comedy Central's The Daily Show and then later, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Were you surprised at how well the show took off? That it has become the go-to news show for millions of devoted viewers?

Yes, considering that all of the writers were reading at a third grade level. How did we get the job you ask? Weed ... REALLY good weed. You can get any job with the right drugs. Seriously, I am surprised. In the beginning no one knew who we were. We were the little show that could, so to see it be as popular as it is still blows my mind. And when my mind is blown the only way for me to correct that is ... WEED!
