       | I agree with this entirely, and I think if you've watched some of

       | Kids In The Hall, 30 Rock, A.P. Bio, Comedians In Cars Getting
       | Coffee, Documentary Now!, Portlandia and so on and so on.

       | I'm sure he's quite a handful to deal with, but whatever that
       | entails the end result of his presence on a project is that the
       | project is often a good idea and well run. Don't get me wrong,
       | he's had his money grabs and failed concepts, but the sheer
       | number of hits he's involved with boggles the mind. He's willing
       | to put money behind concepts few others even consider.
