When I first got the call asking if I was interested in interviewing for a new show starring Steve Martin and Martin Short, Only Murders in the Building, it wasn’t a difficult decision. I have been a fan of both since I was a kid, and the idea of working with two of my comedy idols was thrilling. Establishing the Tone: A Genre-Bending SeriesIt was such a pleasure working on the first season of the series because I got to help shape the tone and style of the show. The thing that became evident right away is that the show is a balancing act between murder plot, comedy, and character drama that I think no other show really does. Only Murders in the Building really stretches each element further and further out from the tight nucleus that holds those tones together, but somehow manages to allow the broader comedy and more sincere moments to coexist. Much of the credit for that goes to the creator and showrunner, John Hoffman, who is always pushing to take the show in new directions. Favorite Moments from Seasons PastI’ve been very lucky to get to work on some really special episodes of Only Murders in the Building. In the first season, I got to edit Oliver’s ‘Broadway suspect audition’ in episode 103 and Sazz Pataki’s Intro in episode 109. In season 4, I got to edit one of my all-time favorite scenes involving Steve Martin, Eugene Levy, and Richard Kind, a truly stacked cast...
