This past season of “Louie” had a couple of narratives that spanned multiple episodes. What inspired you to try that?
Last season was the first time I sat down and wrote the whole thing. When I wrote the Parker Posey stuff, it was really verbose and long, and I was like, “This is supposed to be one episode.” So I wrote a card that says, “This can be anything you want,” and it sat on my desk the rest of the season. Once I got to that, I was like, “Hey, telling longer stories, that’s fun.”
It's amazing insight that a simple observation -- this can be anything you want -- is so freeing.
I wonder if he keeps a stack of index cards on his desk.
