The FuthaMuckin' Protocol Dean Edwards

There have been a few writers to sit down with TFP, but none that write movies for The Hallmark Channel. Yes, THAT Hallmark Channel. How he went from teaching English in New Jersey to the principal checking him for appearing on Showtime Networks' "WHITE BOYZ IN THE HOOD", to NACA to writing and (eventually) producing films is an amazing story. Jay shares his insight with Dean and breaks down the art of writing films while keeping production budgets low. It's fascinating, actually and great info for anyone interested in writing in Hollywood. He also breaks down the (possible) good in Thanos and how he removed himself off of all social media in an effort to be more "present". We In The Building!

Adam Ferrara might be on of the the nicest guys in Hollywood & he believes that shared experiences are what bring people together. He's a wise man with a sharp wit and a great comic. He & Dean talk Richard Pryor, how there is always something to overcome, good hosts setting a show's pace and why West Indian nurses LOVE him ever since "NURSE JACKIE". We In The Building!

Erik Rivera return for part 2 of his talk with Dean as he continues sharing his continuing story returning to NBC Stand Up For Diversity to earning money as a comic doing NACA College gigs and then how grabbing Eva Longoria's attention is helping him to expand the opportunities for Latino's in Hollywood before shooting his own comedy special. Never let BOBBY KELLY give you suggestions on how to propose or take relationship advice from a comic. We In The Building, son!

Erik Rivera is a humble assassin of a comedian. He lays in the cut humbly with a thousand watt smile, but then when he takes the stage: HE'S A KILLER! He takes us on his Journey from doing megachurch's in the Bronx to LAST COMIC STANDING. Erik shares how John Leguizamo and Eddie Murphy made comedy relatable to a Puerto Rican kid from New Rochelle. Also, the benefits of having a car as a new comic and Do NOT ever only offer him 2 lines! We In The Building, son!

Jeff Richards continues his conversation with Dean and walks us through his SNL audition, their 1st day of work being September 11th, 2001 and how comedy changed after the World Trade attacks. So much so that he got in trouble with Lorne Michaels after his very 1st episode. He also shares life after SNL, how the 2008 stock market crash affected him and getting back to stand up. We in the Building!

Jeff Richards is a funny comedian & brilliant impressionist. He also is the only person to ever be cast on both MAD TV and SNL. Jeff & Dean talk shop and their individual approaches to doing impressions: choosing what impressions to do, what order to do them in and creating jokes around impressions vs. merely doing them for sake of doing them. Nuance in a voice is muy importante, people.
It's the first time Dean has another SNL Alum share their experience on the iconic show...and it's only part 1. Part 2 of their talk drops in 6 days. We in the Building!
