John Swartzwelder, Sage of “The Simpsons”

The first major interview with one of the most revered comedy writers of all time.

"I remember an agent saying that getting a spot on Lorne’s new “S.N.L.” show—after what amounted to a nationwide talent search—was like getting a seat on the space shuttle. Of course, the space shuttle crashed that season. Killed everyone."

I watched that episode of Pistol Pete mentioned in the interview. Amongst the cast was one Lisa Robin Kelly, who played Laurie Forman in That 70's Show. Keep that in your back pocket for a morbid pub quiz some time.
