Episode 199: Carter Bays and Craig Thomas Interview Part Two

Episode 199: Carter Bays and Craig Thomas Interview Part Two     This is the After Show for Gimme Five, featuring part two of Andrew’s conversation with Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, creators of How I Met Your Mother.   The discussion digs into the real-life inspiration behind Gimme Five, a project shaped as much by nostalgia as it is by firsthand experience. Carter and Craig reflect on the writers’ rooms that shaped the pilot, and the kind of shared comedy culture that gets handed down over time, something that now feels increasingly rare.   The conversation is loose, funny, and occasionally thoughtful, touching on collaboration, process, and what makes a great room work.   Dead Pilots Society is supported by MaxFun members contributing $5 a month or more, and this is the time of year to say thanks and invite new listeners to join.
