6 Things to Know About Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner’s Difficult People [Updated]

1. We play bitter, struggling outliers in the NYC comedy world who can't get a break while our peers move on to fame and fortune. And everybody drives us crazy. The only people we don't talk shit about are each other. And Margo Martindale, who is having a great year, AND IT'S ONLY MAY!!!!! 2. When we pitched it, at one point we said: "Think of Will & Grace, if one was a six and the other was a seven." The executives were like, "DO YOU TAKE AMEX OR SHOULD I WRITE YOU A BLANK CHECK?" 4. Julie: In terms of what other shows it can be compared to, I looked to Curb Your Enthusiasm as an inspiration for the tone and structure of the script. Our characters are pretty Larry David-esque in that we go through our irritable, neurotic lives getting pissed off at perfectly pleasant people making small social transgressions. And, in trying to get by among commoners, we tend to make things much worse. There are also a lot of interwoven story lines that intersect to the detriment of our characters — and lots of jokes. We value joke density. - Julie Klausner & Billy Eichner,Vulture [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
