so beautiful. this dynamic is one of my favorite things. Chemda, you facilitated /the fuck/ out of this discussion. also, your shoulder: Hello!

as always, if you don't have the video package, you missed at least a third of this experience.

[Enunciated Piffle]

I liked Chemda's comparison to Howard Stern. He does have writers. I heard somewhere that when Artie Lange was hired; he was never supposed to be ON the show. He was just supposed to write things. Like, he'd look at the news and come up with commentary and jokes. But Howard thought the jokes were better in Artie's own voice.

I feel like Danny has a similar role. He's not K or C, but he is an important part of KATG. He's always on the couch. Writing in. He does writing. He's a writer!

It's a good thing KATG has The Girl or it'd be in serious trouble, managerial speaking She might be the only mature adult in the building.

Keith just can't help himself. He's gotta have that last barbed word thrown in.

This was an interesting insight into the inner show workings. I have to agree with Keith though that Danny should have raised the point earlier (the analogy to rape was a ridiculous counterpoint) and to me it seemed like in Keith's mind he already viewed Danny as having the status of 'writer' for the show. That being said Danny needs his due, it seemed like Danny would just prefer Keith not use his jokes at all without crediting him regardless of the writer status.

[Dean from Australia]

That Danny even has to consider the proposition of being credited as a writer? It seems like a no-brainer to me.

[FingerLakes]

this wasn't awkward at all. I could see both your POVs clearly and everything was eventually out on the table

One of them said on this episode that for years nobody knew Stern had writers. Did he hide it?

Keith brought it up though Jo_Culprit. Obviously it was raised earlier.

Feelings for this show:

Fun, good show.
Danny said whaaaaaat?
Under the table, stacked a smaller table on top of the bigger table, not enough tables in this house, kill me!
Well Keith has a point.
Well Danny has a point.
Chemda should be my therapist.
Must watch video of this.
Oh, so this was a straight up HR conversation.

[BadderWorse]

I genuinely think that this episode should be heard (or seen) by everyone who is having communication issues with their SO/Family Member/Friend/Co-Worker etc.

Not only was it informative on the type of approach one should use, but also what to do when talking about it fails. I loved the way it was stressed that "now that it's known, how do we move on from here?" Sorta like a more graceful way to say "What do we do now?"

Chemda, I wish you were able to facilitate all of my conversations with people. Unfortunately, life isn't that easy!
