I spill my drink, and my friend says, “Ya done messed up Ay-Ay-Ron!”
My friend is quoting the viral Key and Peele sketch: The Substitute Teacher.
In this episode of the Funny Muscle Podcast, we got to chat with the writer who came up with that sketch: Rich Talarico.
He’s a Peabody Award-winning writer/producer with four Emmy and four WGA Award nominations, as well as an improviser, comedy teacher and stand-up comedian.
We get to learn about sketch writing, the importance of writing for a specific comedy persona, what it’s like to be in the writing room on SNL and Key and Peele.
He’s written for Jay Leno and has a great Carson impression.
He’s also in one of the most memorable root beer commercials.
