Ingebretson, Weisman, and Bishop met while navigating the LA standup and comedy scene.

That helps separateCorporatefrom any other office comedies, which is exactly what the trio wanted.

How did the initial concept and pilot forCorporatefirst come together between you?

Matt Ingebretson:There were two different points of inspiration.

One of them was jobs that I have had in the past working for large corporations, low-level positions.

How did you accomplish that, or what were you specifically aiming for?

So we wanted to attempt to extend or go a little beyond that and make something more visually interesting.

Jake:Were comedians who also love movies and want to make something that feels like a movie.

Pat:We want each episode to feel like a mini-movie.

Based on timing and Comedy Central, some people may see it as a transition fromWorkaholicstoCorporate.

But there are distinct differences.

If anyone makes that association then they havent seen a minute of our show.

Matt:Comedy Central really supported a different vision and doing something different.

They never tried to make it more likeWorkaholics.

It was actually helpful for us to try something really different.

You released four episodes early.

What was getting the feedback like?

What have you learned from it so far?

Jake:To be completely honest, its just been really positive.

Like We cant wait to see the rest!

We loved it and relate to it.

kindly make more of them.

Pat:Were feeling lucky about it.

Its been pretty positive so far.

Thank you for making a show about it, you know what my life is like.

How did the three of you get into comedy initially, respectively?

Jake:I started comedy when I was 26 because I was horribly depressed.

I wasdoing videos and standupsimultaneously.

My goal when I moved out here was to write forThe Tonight Show with Conan OBrien.

So that was some time ago.

And how to not fuck it up by the time its all the way done.

What was it like working with him onThe Tommy Wi-Show?

Matt:Oh yeah.

So all day on set he was just sipping Red Bull out of a straw.

So I think that was a very pivotal experience for me.

I witnessed that tableau for many hours a day in 2010.

Jake, what was your experience withThe Eric Andre Show?

Do you think that show could ever go too far?

I always had a fascination with the idea of eating out a Georgia OKeefe painting.

So that made it on and I was really proud of that.

But no, I dont think you’re able to go farther than Eric Andre can.

That room is the most interesting writing space.

Which has always been the hardest thing for me to find.

Pat:I think its just that practice tones your instincts.

So you get to learn whats essential, and anything that is less necessary you learn to strip away.

Pat:In terms of the style of shooting, Id lean towards: Take it seriously.

How was the process of getting Lance Reddick on board?

Jake:He taught us how bad we are at acting.

Matt:We felt very foolish.

He was really awesome to work with.

How does it feel to know youre nearly to air after so much development time?

Matt:I am not emotionally prepared.

I am a raw nerve right now and I eat a can of beans every single day.

No, its all so very nice and Im happy we made a TV show.
