Pour out some margarita and turn on some Morrissey, friends. “Reno 911!” got cancelled this afternoon. TV just got cleaner, dumber and more irrelevant.
I was lucky enough to do a few episodes, and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had more fun. Tom, Ben, Kerri and the rest of the cast and crew are as funny as they are kind (which is to say: very). Once you were in the door, they trusted you to bring the funny, which would be a lot more intimidating if they were even 5% less supportive and generous. Seriously, the day before a shoot, they’d messenger you a script and it would say: “They have dinner,” or “The ceremony happens.” That’s it. For an improv nerd, that’s like getting a note that Santa is real and he’s on his way over. What a talented bunch of people, and what a great fucking show.
In the meantime, they’re writing movies and making a zillion dollars, and Comedy Central is spending their entire budget on the “Joan Rivers Has Had A Great Deal Of Plastic Surgery” show.
