Hey guys,
SNL writer Michael Patrick O'Brien has kindly agreed to answer a few questions about his first season writing for SNL for the blog! I know - excitement. Anyway, faithful readers - if you have any questions you would like me to ask Michael, please leave a comment with your question and I'll select a few of the best to ask.
Thanks,
-amy

About Me
- lfny
- My life as a TV pitch - "While all the other kids are out getting up to mischief, Amy stays indoors watching PBS documentaries and clips of Furry Vengeance, wondering if Brendan Fraser will ever get his act together." 19. Laughing & writing are my favourite things.
