Heard this podcast of a guy who grew up in northeast Ohio. At minute 9:00 he talks about how you just gotta move to LA. He thought he would fail but knew that unless he made the move he would never really know. At minute 26:00 he got hired as a writer for the movie Despicable Me. He wrote 20 pages of one line jokes and only one joke got used. He wrote for the Simpsons for 11 years and is now the Executive Producer for "Four Weddings and a Funeral" with Mindy Kaling.
