Summary
Co-writers Dan Gregor and Doug Mand (The Naked Gun) have been writing partners for twenty years - which is basically a marriage at this point. They tell Nicole about the time they were "dumped" by Adam Pally, how they’ve kept a friendship and business alive without burning each other out, and the rabbi who completely ruined a wedding by trying to do bits. They also shared the best marriage advice they’ve ever gotten, and what it feels like to spiral when you don’t think you’re worthy of love. Plus, while on vacation, Nicole overhears a couple fighting in the next hotel room - and decides to slip a handwritten note under their door.
Go see The Naked Gun in theaters! It's very funny!
