Opus Moreschi is a tall, pale son of Italy and an improviser, formerly a house performer at Improv Olympic West and currently at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York. He’s also written for shows such as Lil’ Bush and The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. Opus is an inspiring figure, for his talent, of course, but especially for his determination. When it was announced that Stephen Colbert was getting his own show, Opus knew he immediately wanted to write for him. Five writing packets and a number of near misses later, he was hired on as a writer at The Colbert Report, where he currently spends his days on what is easily one of the best shows on TV. A few weeks ago Opus sat down with us at The Wrestling Team apartment to discuss divorce, improv, pyramid schemes, over-achieving at temp jobs, Edward G. Robinson impersonations, production by Andy Dick, writing political material and The Comedy Awards. We also debut a BRAND NEW comedy term that is sure to set the jargon community on fire!
