Excerpt from IndieWire Interview:
What do you make of the “$#*! My Dad Says” phenomenon?
The twitter feed spawned a show in which you starred, but it has since been canceled.
It was a miracle. A guy gets on the web and says, “This is what my dad said,” and four people listen.
Within a week, he’s got a million and a half followers.
Within three months, he’s got a network and a studio deal.
Within six months, he’s got a series.
A year after that, it’s off the air.
I don’t know why they canceled it. In Canada, it’s in the top 10. All the other speaking countries had it in the top 10.
It was often in the top 20 here in the States. I don’t know.
