So by the time we got to recording in the booth, we got so dialed in. And if they made us laugh they were working because M.O.D.O.K.

And you were a producer, writer and assistant on American Dad! for 12 years. agents… so very happy with the marketing. It was the same billboard I passed when I was a production assistant on American Dad! And it’s also the one I pass every… Wednesday when I go to the comic store.

Jackson Murphy: I saw on your Twitter that you posted a picture of you in front of a billboard for the show that has a lot of significance for you.
