AVC: How has you improv background in Milwaukee impacted your subsequent career?

DH: It’s all-encompassing. The way I learned how to function as a human being, how to write, and how to collaborate—as much as I can—with other writers and producers, it’s all based on the principles I learned as a high schooler in ComedySportz. Just the basic improv stuff of saying “yes” instead of “no” as often as you possibly can, always assuming the other person is right no matter how ****ed up they sound. If you’re genuinely creative you’re going to find a way to make what this person is doing work for you.

FACT: Dan Harmon did ComedySportz in high school.

FACT: I am in high school, and I have done ComedySportz. Well, I mean. Kind of. “High School League”.

FACT: Dan Harmon is a cool guy who does a bunch of cool stuff.

ERGO: I am a cool guy who does a bunch of cool stuff?

…no, I’m still High School League in that, too.
