“The whole show came about because NBC said, ‘Would you guys ever want to write a show for Ellie Kemper?’ And we were like, ‘Yes!’ Because we were big fans of hers from The Office and Bridesmaids … And the thing that we sort of focused in on her was that she has this kind of this sunniness, but also this strength… So this idea somehow came from that of like, OK, what’s a kind of person who sees the world really optimistically? Early pitches were like, what if she was someone who was a baby pulled out of a well as a child? Or a woman who’s just woken up from a coma? So of course we pick the weirdest of the choices.”
