Longform.org: [David Wain] of MTV’s The State on a peculiar brand
of stardom. “Often people would be like, I’m such a big fan of your
work. I want to have a career like yours. And
I’m like, great, can you buy me a slice of pizza?”
DW: Every writing partnership is different, but ours
is very much us both just sitting there together at the screen and
doing it. We very rarely write by ourselves.
BLVR: Who types?
DW: I type—only because Ken is not a very fast
typer. Most of it is over Skype. Mostly we’re on Skype, screen-sharing,
so we’re both looking at the same screen, and we’re listening to each
other’s voice. That’s the way we’ve written the majority of our work
together.
