Today\\u2019s guests are Deb Lacusta and Dan Castellaneta. I\\u2019ve known Deb and Dan since the early \\u201880s, when I was cast in a play Deb and Dan wrote for Chicago\'s Bailiwick Theatre. Improvisationally Deb\\u2019s performed with the great Spolin Players, and The Second City Alumni Jam. She\\u2019s written for \\u201cThe Simpsons,\\u201d \\u201cThe Tracy Ullman Show,\\u201d and co-wrote and performed in \\u201cDeb & Dan\\u2019s Show,\\u201d with her collaborator, acting partner and husband Dan Castellaneta, of \\u201cThe Simpsons\\u201d fame. I remember watching Dan perform at Second City etc., and felt so lucky when we could all play together out here in LA. We spoke about process, ambition, taking risks, and some great people we\\u2019ve worked with. We recorded our interview at The Fanatic Salon in LA\\u2019s westside. This is a good one.
