Wendy? Darling? Light of my life. I’m not gonna hurt ya.
This is the story of a Procedural.
So I’m at a meeting with a producer the other day and he’s pitching me a tv idea. As way of emphasizing why I need him and his idea, he brings forth a piece of paper. On it, my credits. He doesn’t actually hand it over to me but he says this:
PRODUCER: I’ve been looking over your credits, pretty impressive.
ME: Thanks, we try.
PRODUCER: Seems to me you’re just missing one thing from these credits. And I’m gonna tell you what it is.
ME: Please do.
At which point he turns the piece of paper towards me and I see he’s written in bold black marker near the top, pointing to the list: BIG FUCKING HIT TV SHOW.
ME: Well, yes, I am missing that. Very true. I think about that a lot.
PRODUCER: That’s all right. Because I’m here to change all that.
