Episode 34: Scott Long

Comedian and Writer Scott Long has entertained audiences and written for television for nearly three decades. He has made national TV appearances on NBC, FOX (he wrote Frank Caliendo’s NFL sketches for 13 seasons, appeared on Bob & Tom), and tours constantly as a standup comedian. Scott has made his home in Indianapolis for many years, where he lives with his wife and three children.

Earlier this year, Scott and his family were the subject of an inspiring story in the Indianapolis Star, chronicling Scott’s relationship with his daughter Maddie (who has autism along with other developmental conditions) and how Maddie experiences the world.

Scott has spoken openly about how his relationship with his daughter has changed not only his life, but his approach to comedy and creativity. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
