It's a lot easier to figure out how to scale something that doesn't feel like it would scale than it is to figure out what is actually gonna work.

I mean, comedy's hard. If you go back and look at the first season of Seinfeld, it's a work in progress and that's what happens. It just take time for people to figure each other out, and figure out timing, and to develop creatively with the writers.
