Fun fact from part one of the interview with Megan Ganz

• Megan’s journey into comedy started with watching shows such as Married With Children, SNL, or Letterman with her dad.
• Molly Shannon, Cheri Oteri, and Kaitlin Olson were all big influences on Megan.
• Megan’s first job for television was writing on the Dimitri Martin show.
• Megan was such a fan of Community after Season 1 it was the only show she applied for following Dimitri Martin.
• Dan Harmon employs a technique called the story circle when breaking down stories.
• Regarding Season 4, Megan stayed for that season, and is grateful that it exists, since without Season 4, there is no Season 5 nor Season 6.
• Part of the writing process on Community was creating what was called a spit draft – a rough version of the script where characters will say the sloppiest version of their dialog. For example, during a fight a character might say “I am in a fight with you.” This would function as an outline as rewriting a bad script is easier than writing from scratch.
