20. Elliot Kalan on Comedy, Greek Mythology, and Writing Hercules
Today I'm talking to Elliott Kalan. If you're like me, you've been living under a rock (or a stack of comics) for the past two decades, and may not have heard the name. Besides being a writer of hilarious comics, Elliott is the former Head Writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart -- a job that earned him FOUR Emmy Awards for Outstanding Writing.
I spoke with Elliott about where his love for writing started, why he continues to come back to comics, and why he's uniquely qualified to take on everyone's favorite Demigod.
