So AMC recently announced that it’s decided to move away from reality shows, including the celebrity bowling show you had in development. What was it like to get that news?
[laughs] That’s just a funny question: “How did you feel when the project you were working on for a year just went away?” Ultimately, it was hard to feel too bad about it, because everyone got the ax except Talking Dead and Comic Book Men. And AMC’s been great to me, so I take that stuff in stride. I’ve done television for so long, and I know this is just part of the process. We made it really far down the path with this show; we were going to start shooting in February and we had a premiere date in June, I think. But it happens. Honestly, I was bummed for half a day, and then just like, “Okay. What else can we do with it?” We made a really great pilot, and now other people have that pilot and are interested.So you think it could have a life beyond AMC?
I do. And if the worst-case scenario is that we just keep making it on the web, I’m fine with that too. It’s a fun show. But I think it’ll land somewhere else. It was completely amicable at AMC; I know they felt terrible about it. And I’m friends with all of them, and so it’s just one of those, like, we just had an adult conversation, you know?
