On today's episode, I talk to comedy writer Meredith Scardino.
Originally from Pottstown, Pennsylvania, Meredith first got into
the business of show as an animator before landing her first
writing job on Best Week Ever in 2004. This led to a series of gigs
including Late Night with David Letterman, Human Giant and the
Daily Show before she landed at The Colbert Report, which she wrote
on for six years, netting a handful of Emmy Awards for her work.
Meredith's streak continued writing for SNL, Unbreakable Kimmy
Schmidt, At Home with Amy Sedaris and Mr. Mayor before creating one
of the best shows of the last decade Girls5Eva, all three seasons
of which are streaming now on Netflix!
