I'm Drew Breunig and I obsess about technology, media, language, and culture. I live in New York, studied anthropology, and work in advertising technology.

These are reactions to things I feel are important.

Follow me on Twitter.
  • NYMag: In the end, what was it that finally prompted you to do the Tonight Show? Conan contacting you? The promise of stability?
  • Andy Richter: All those things. And also just how shitty it is just trying to develop comedy right now. How dumb ideas are seeming to be rewarded. How a lot of the networks seem to have basically thrown in the towel on comedy and said ‘We just basically don’t know what we’re doing or what works,’ and we just kind of have more stuff where the dad’s kind of a jerk, the mom knows best, and everybody just kind of insults each other for half an hour and at the end everybody says they love each other and tune in next week for it all to start again. And that got to be fairly soul-deadening, placing myself for judgment in front of people who I didn’t feel were deserving of that position. There was a lot of “Who the fuck are you to tell me what’s funny?” A lot of that feeling.
