Comedy Showrunners

Six executive producers behind the top comedic shows open up about what draws them to certain stories, the complications of network casting and the pressure to get political. Judd Apatow (Girls, Crashing, Love), Kenya Barris (Black-ish), Gloria Calderon Kellett (One Day at a Time), David Mandel (Veep), Scott Silveri (Speechless) and Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) talk about which writers they look up to most and the pitfalls of borrowing from one's own life.
