Q: How do you deal with being a woman in Hollywood?

Q: How do you make a “good” TV show?

A: No idea. All I do is find the most talented people I can, say a prayer, and get out of the way. Anyone who tells you differently, or that they have some secret sauce, is probably an egomaniac.

Q: How did you get your first big break?

A: I was at my own intern lunch at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart when a fellow intern asked that very same question. I had never worked in television before, and I was in awe of the rigor of that show. Jon was there every day, the entire day, overseeing everything. And the people around him were just so smart. They were the adults you wanted to be: single-­minded in their dedication to their work, rushing about in a manner that screamed importance, and totally uninterested in us, the lowly interns.
