Not much time here, so just a quick update from Washington, DC, where I’m attending the DC Comedy Fest and helping Jessica with her last project for Newsweek (and making the best of my birthday weekend).
I can’t thank everyone enough for the outpouring of support from friends, professional peers, industry contacts and people I didn’t even know had me on their radar in the last 48 hours. Due in no small part to that support, a few things are starting to settle out that make the situation seem a bit less dire. I’ll have more to say about them when we return, but I just wanted to make sure I took some time to send a very heartfelt, very humble “thank you” to everyone who has taken time out of their busy lives to reach out to me (or on my behalf) in the past few days.
Thank you, thank you, and again… thank you.

Unemployment stinks, no doubt. But to get the unexpected birthday present of knowing how much people like and respect you (without you having to die to get that kind of attention, as seems to happen in this industry too often) is a great dividend, I hope. And add my name to folks who respect ya, sir.

Very kind of you to say, Tim… and the “birthday present” you mention is certainly a silver lining. By the way, I really enjoyed your thoughts on the interview process in your most recent Q&A: http://tinyurl.com/6jrr6h
I’ve definitely been in similar interview situations - encounters in which I realize I’m going to have to do more research after the conversation than I did beforehand.
Thanks again!

I know the situation sucks, but you are a talented guy, and I have confidence you’ll land on your feet .
