"The Pitch" (with Kevin Upchurch) | DDI #2

This week's episode was pitched to me by a long time friend of mine, Kevin. It's really funny to me how this show idea was presented to me, since it was a show about pitches that had to be pitched to me. I think shows that rely on audience submissions are tricky in this format; it's difficult to cash in on that "ooh, they said my thing on the show" feeling that drives submission-based shows when you're doing a literal pilot. Luckily for this show, Kevin & I have a lot of creative history together, and we're able to approach things with a sort of...practical silliness that I think gives our projects this fun but grounded feeling to them.

Anyway, let me know what you think about this one! Did you like either of the pitches? Should the 'producers' be harsher critics of the ideas they get presented? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
