## Resource

Brian and Bailey chat with The Naked Gun (2025) screenwriters Dan Gregor and Doug Mand. Comedy ain’t easy. And neither is the job of continuing the beloved Naked Gun franchise with a new chapter that honors the spirit of Lt. Frank Drebin without feeling stuck in the past. But that is exactly what Dan Gregor and Doug Mand have accomplished, and they are here to discuss why and how they do what they do, the lessons learned from years of partnership, and what it takes to keep audiences laughing in a new era. Their journey from the improv comedy scene to How I Met Your Mother , from Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers to The Naked Gun , is a colorful one. So tune in for all that, plus their thoughts on comedy writing in the age of YouTube, and why even in Hollywood a good script is never truly dead. This episode is produced by Brian Landwehr and Bailey Patterson.
