David Wain

About this episode

David Wain is a comedy legend. Alongside Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, Ken Marino and many other heavy hitters, Wain co-founded The State, the massively influential comedy troupe responsible for Wet Hot American Summer. Wain returns to Bullseye to talk about his latest project: Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass. He talks about writing the screenplay which involved locking himself up with Marino – literally! Plus, how he got Jon Hamm to agree to make a cameo in the film.
