Earl

If Earl Pomerantz ever were to collect and expand his “Story of a Writer” posts into a book, I’d be the first one to buy it. (Well, maybe not literally the first, but I’d buy it on the first day.) He’s giving us a step-by-step guided tour of his own journey from Canada to L.A., of the history of sitcoms and sitcom writing from the ’70s onward, and some of the great shows he’s written for — and he’s written for many great shows.

Earl Pomerantz has two recent posts about his experiences writing for Taxi (he contributed episodes for four of the shows five seasons) the latest post in his “story of a writer” series, and also his experience of the infamous Andy Kaufman/Tony Clifton incident.
