101 - TV Writing, Crashing, Ted Lasso, and Big Sister Advice ft. Jamie Lee

Help! with Natalie Cuomo

This week I'm joined by Emmy award winning writer, comedian, and actress Jamie Lee (@reallyjamielee). We discuss being engaged to a comedian, Jamie's book about wedding planning, the moment when Jamie and her team accepted an Emmy for Ted Lasso, the difference between writing for stand up and writing for a TV show, being honored as a team in TV writing versus the solo experience of stand up, the process of TV writing, why comedians have imposter syndrome, how linear the progression of stand up careers were just a few years ago, Jamie's relationship with success, how realistic Crashing is in comparison to the NYC comedy scene, Jamie's experience writing Crashing and then auditioning for the role of Ali and the ultimately being cast as her!, the moment Jamie found out she was cast as Ali in Crashing, knowing that if you really let something go there's a chance it will come back, Jamie's advice for not harping on rejection, Jamie's audition for Ted Lasso, Jamie's experience writing on Ted Lasso, refusing to be told no (IN A CAREER SENSE), refusing to be taken down, not getting your hopes up about anything until its signed off, and so much more!
