    Hey, guys! I wrote a hangout comedy, a la Friends, but with a diverse group of characters who are in their mid-30s and, therefore, washed as hell. ✌🏾People are calling it✌🏾 "funny," "smart," "charming," "true," and "too close to home!" 👇🏾

    COMEDY SHOWRUNNERS: With her pilot WASHED, has cracked "the new Friends." Charming, distinct characters hanging out being charming w just enough story engine AND feels true and contemporary. Attn: @DarleneTweets

    Some people have said ’s original half-hour comedy, WASHED, is “funny.” Others have said it’s “smart.” What they’re all saying?? “Hire her!”

    Yesterday, I did community service, took my college freshman cousin out to eat, and swung by my best friend's house and introduced her 11-month-old son to his first queso, which I whipped up from scratch (gotta start 'em young). No photos, please.

    Sometimes I stop and think about the fact that there’s a whole generation of people who didn’t get the party started to Let Me Clear My Throat....Then I continue scrolling through Netflix trailers in search of my Saturday night movie.

    Oh, are there other Chrises? I wasn’t aware.

    Which is obviously WAY cooler than being the most handsome, funny, or talented. Take note, other Chrises. Losers.

    No. I have the decency to save the worst parts of myself for my friends and family — the people whom I love the most.

    is y’all twitter personality the same as your “real” personality?

    I entered this staffing season with a lot of anxiety, but I've been so encouraged and inspired by the way writers at all levels have banded together to lift each other up. May we keep this same energy well after the WGA-ATA showdown ends!

    "I got a baby. I need some money." is my favorite Cardi B lyric. So specific, yet so universal.
