Welcome back to Hot Takes and Deep Dives. My next guest was a writer at Saturday Night Live

for the past six seasons, a job she got somehow at just 24 years old. She was also a writer-producer

on Shrill with 80 Bryan, a writer on Show Times. I love that for you and is generally an overall delight.

Sooty Green, I'm excited to talk to you. Oh my god, I'm excited to talk to you, Jess. How are you? I'm

you know, I'm doing great. I'm excited to be here. I will confess. I am drinking wine out of a coffee

mug right now. You did just admit that there is wine in the coffee mug, so tell me about your day.

Like what has led me? I put it in, I put it in the mug because I was like, I shouldn't need to know

I'm having a little glass of wine and then I immediately said it to you. I was like, there's wine in

here. It's like I could have just had a glass. You wouldn't have cared. What are you working on?

a great question. Well, I'm currently writing the second season of I love that for you, which is

this show and showtime, which I love. Amazing. We are not picked up for a second season yet, but the room

is happening, which is an interesting situation. But I think it's just like a weird corporate

technicality thing. And so, you know, we are doing what in TV rooms they call breaking the episode

and they're breaking, which is like when you find out like basically everything that is going to

just seen by scene, what's going to happen. And sometimes it's frustrating and you can't, you know

something's missing and you can't fill in the blank. And we are breaking my episode. And it was

just a hard day for the brain. Ooh, darling. And sometimes your brain needs a little alcohol at the end

of a, she's working hard. And people think it's all just fart jokes. And that's mostly it. But

sometimes you really have to think about like emotions and stuff. You know, in talking to a lot
