Josh Malina...

Everytime Nate Corddry screws up a take, Perry puts him on Josh Malina Watch.

(Nate responds..."Nate Corddry here, I'm too big of a star for some skank stat-head from Sports Night to take my job! I could totally take that guy in a fight!")


"Sir?"
"Yes, Sir."

- Joshua Malina's powerful performance in A Few Good Men

I don't know how wrong it is to handicapp the odds, but I know I'd watch it.

Is it wrong that I'm mentally handicapping the odds of that fight?

Malina: 1-2
Corddry: 6-4
Draw: 20-1

Place your bets now.

Thanks, Aaron. Huge Fan. One of the reasons I love your show is the politics embedded in a lot of the stories and dialougue - which is why I hope you'll use your considerable influence to encourage NBC to stop fighting their janitors' efforts to win decent wages and health benefits. You can make a huge difference in their lives. Thanks.

I had this thought and wasn't going to share it, but a friend of a friend...well, you know the rest.

To Nate: Don't ask Brad to help you, because apparently he fights like a girl--ask Richard Schiff.

(Forgive me, Aaron for teasing and Brad for being not-nice. I mean nothing by it but snark.)

Aaron & Tommy -

Do you find it difficult to write and direct content that has a large connection to your personal lives? From WW2 it is clear that both of your backgrounds fule a lot of the creativity ,...but sometimes do you ever feel the need to leave some of that behind?

Thanks,
JP

That's fantastic. My question is when are we going to hear our first "Lion in Winter" allusion?

Is Nate going to get Studio 60 an "in" with Comedy Central folk? Because if he doesn't at least OFFER it... Josh Malina Watch!

OMG that's cruel....

Mind you there was some heck speculation of the shadowy figure on the landing above the cast in the original Cover shot for this page... it had a very Malina-esque stature to it... *grin*

"I could totally take that guy in a fight!"

Will you sell tickets?

Hi! Aaron, I'm in college right now studying dramatic writing at NYU to be a TV writer and you're my all time favorite writer! Is there I way I can get in contact with you? My class was wondering if we could ask you a couple questions through mail or email-- Such as a fan-mail address or something?? I'd really appreciate it! Thank-you!
And keep writing awesome television!!!!

(I'll probably post this a few times, since this is the only chance I'll get to ask you)
