Here's more Mark Simone on 17WOR.

Well, hey, Alan's Wibel, one of the great comedy writers, producers, authors, bestselling authors.

Get his books, you'll love him.

Go to allenswyebel.com and get everything there.

You can also find out where he's appearing and where he's speaking.

Alan's Wyebel, how you doing?

I'm great, Mark. How are you doing? I'm great, Mark.

How are you doing?

I'm very good.

Hey, I was thinking about it.

I wanted to ask you about this.

Like, I get addicted to shows, like two and a half men.

Everybody loves Raymond.

Yeah, watch them over and over again.

There's like 200 episodes of it.

Now, you've written stuff how does somebody once you have the concept and it's brilliant how do you then come up with 200 more

episodes how do you do that well that's an excellent question and if I knew the

answer to it I would have created a show that has 200 episodes but apparently apparently, whoever creates it, like Ray Romano and his partner, they come up with it.

Then they write the first few.

Then they do a lot of the first year.

After the first year, they never write a thing again.

They bring in outside guys.
