Alan Zweibel has written for SNL, consulted on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' and worked with Billy Crystal. He says nothing beats writing as a team. 'The alchemy makes it something that neither of you could have done by yourselves.'
For Zweibel, it felt like more than a creative collaboration."The Gilda partnership for me was magical," he says."I was in love — I was hopelessly in love." But Radner was not interested in a romantic relationship. They remained friends right up until her death from ovarian cancer on in 1989., Zweibel writes of being deeply inspired by veteran comedy writer/producer Herb Sargent whose credits included the TV show.
Sargent was the one who dubbed the cast the"Not Ready for Prime Time Players." Zweibel watched as that ragtag troupe went from relative obscurity to major stardom."More success came with more trappings. Cabs became Town Cars. Rentals became co-ops. Cast members got their own assistants," he writes. Back at the Friars Club, Zweibel is full of memories of witnessing major milestones in American comedy. He remembers the moment he and Garry Shandling wrote the lyrics toa parody of TV sitcoms. They were riding an elevator together in their agent Bernie Brillstein's office building on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.
"We had listened to each other's stories," he says."And I felt that that would be a great combination for me to be with someone who could write really well, edit really well and also could listen really well."
