It seems like just yesterday that the Berlin Wall was falling, Eddie Murphy was still funny, and cell phones looked like bricks.

A "web site" was where a spider decided to set up house, "twitter" was something grown men did not do, a "face book" was something published by colleges that couldn't manage a full-blown yearbook, and we were stuck watching TV shows at the specific time they aired.

I worked on the first season...wrote questions. Originally, that show was supposed to be a sitcom...a game show within a sitcom. The plot was this loser who is obsessed with game shows who lives in his mom’s basement.

Sounds like a funnier, less psychotic version of Rupert Pupkin in "The King of Comedy."

I guess if you have the most successful show on TV, you can just about do anything!
