Simms

Paul Simms: Going into it, I was, like, this seems really fun but not the kind of show that’s ever going to get nominated for anything.

Simms: It felt like what you imagined show business was going to be when you’re a little kid, where someone’s dressed as a monster and you’re about to have a big explosion and someone fly by wires over a house, and you see a little half-Guillermo, half-sheep hybrid creature smoking a cigarette between scenes.

Simms: We really don’t have many bloopers because of the way we shot, that fake-documentary style.

Simms: Bob Newhart was my favorite comedian of all time.
