How I Met Your Mother hires sketch writing teachers Dan Gregor, Doug Mand
<p><i>The Apiary</i> June 11, 2010<br><b><u>New Gigs: Doug Mand and Dan Gregor to Write for How I Met Your Mother</u></b></p>
<p>Chubby Skinny Kids/Hammerkatz-ers <a href="http://losangeles.ucbtheatre.com/performers/3143">Doug Mand</a> and <a href="http://losangeles.ucbtheatre.com/performers/154">Dan Gregor</a> can now add "Bro Code Expert" to the skill set section of their resumes. They were recently hired to write for the 6th season of CBS' sitcom, <i>How I Met Your Mother</i>.</p>
<p>When prodded for details on the job, Gregor says, "We actually got it based off of the pilot script we'd written of our long running UCB stage show <i>Banging My Dick Against a Wall</i>." He adds, "I'm really excited! It's the first time writing for a show that's going to air. Doug and I, with our other writing partner <a href="http://losangeles.ucbtheatre.com/performers/3142">Adam Pally</a>, have written pilots for ABC, FX, and CW the last couple years. But they all died slow deaths in development hell."</p>
