Take 134 - Writer and Showrunner Kevin Abbott, Roseanne, Golden Girls, Happy’s Place

We talk to comedy writing legend Kevin Abbott.
He talks about the drinking, drugs and smoking of his first comedy rooms, how he got his break in the business and working through the night.
Pitching while an exec was peeing, why writers are all miserable and the behaviours that are no longer acceptable.
Kevin explains that Hollywood is in its worst possible spot, why creatives are not valued and how the industry has changed to be so much more business than show.
A fascinating and hilarious discussion with a legend of the business.
