Richmond Til We Die: A Ted Lasso Podcast
TV & Film:TV Reviews
Welcome to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation with Cinco Paul, the co-creator, executive producer, songwriter, and showrunner of Schmigadoon.
In addition to Schmigadoon, Cinco Paul is also known for his work as a screenwriter for beloved films like Horton Hears a Who, The Lorax, The Secret Life of Pets, and the Despicable Me trilogy – all of which he worked on with his longtime friend and collaborator Ken Daurio.
For the uninitiated, Schmigadoon is a musical comedy television series that centers on the relationship of two NYC doctors, Josh and Melissa – played by Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong, respectively. The show is a brilliant love letter to musical theater which also cleverly parodies many of the genre’s most recognizable features through hilarious and heartfelt performances from the A-list cast of musical theatre stars.
We here at Richmond Til We Die are huge fans of Schmigadoon. Luckily, Cinco’s a big fan of Ted Lasso too, and so we were thrilled to have an opportunity to chat with the man who helped create another one of our favorite shows!
And this is your official warning - there are some light spoilers for the first four episodes of Ted Lasso’s third season as well the first three episodes of Schmigadoon’s second season in this episode.
