| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, hi, hello, it is me, Allison Rosen, welcome to another episode of Allison |
| 0:27.3 | Rosen is your new best friend. I am sitting here with Casey St. Onge, TV comedy writer, co-executive |
| 0:34.7 | producer of Watch What Happened Live with Andy Cohen, currently doing a short stint in |
| 0:39.9 | LA, which is why you're in town. But also, best week ever, you wrote for David Letterman, |
| 0:46.2 | yes? I was his assistant, but that's where I started writing. That's awesome. And Joan Rivers, |
| 0:51.3 | and probably a ton of other, and you wrote a young adult book. Yes, and I wrote for the |
| 0:55.7 | Rosie O'Donnell show, the original one for many the whole time. Right. All right, so we will get |

| 1:45.0 | all of our colleagues, and then we both instinctively stopped reading before the next part, which |
| 1:50.6 | actually was scarier than a ghostly lady appearing on stage, and then suddenly this big industrial |
| 1:56.1 | metal door slam shut and nearly killed a crew member. Oh my God. So we were like, yeah, it |
| 2:01.6 | seems haunted. But like in a good way, it was just like a warning, like, don't read that |
| 2:06.4 | really scary part out. Right. Do you believe in all that stuff? Sometimes I do. Sometimes I |
| 2:13.1 | don't, but mostly yes. I mean, let's be honest, I do. Okay, so your last name is pronounced |
| 2:21.7 | St. Orange. Yes, I have mispronounced it on the show, and perhaps you're thinking, when |
