Marry Me

Marry Me is one of NBC’s big hits of the fall season.  I just directed an episode.  Here I am with star Casey Wilson.  Quit staring at that dope Captain America shirt I’m rocking. 

I can’t believe I didn’t get pictures with the amazing Ken Marino, John Gemberling, Sarah Wright Wilson and Tymberlee Hill who are all as delightful to be with as they are talented. 

But I did get a shot with Tim Meadows. We haven’t worked together since I directed him as the star of Ladies Man.  He’s a different kind of ladies man in this show, as one of Casey’s two dads.  We had a great time together.  He’s a massive talent.

Can I Kick It?

Me and the brilliant Tone Bell, one of the stars of NBC’s Bad Judge.

Here’s a clip from my episode.

While shooting, I told Tone about me directing Mr. Big Stuff for Heavy D and the Boyz and the posse jam Uptown’s Kicking It…both for 50k! 

Tone invited me to his monthly comedy show, Can I Kick It, where he and his hilarious friends deconstruct old school videos and muse about their childhoods. My old videos were featured and it was funny as hell. A good time had by all.
