We talked about blind ambition, Joan Rivers, and how he went from a downtown theater darling to writing for one of the most commercially successful, mainstream comedy television shows. His depth, dexterity, and wit is palpable. If you didn't know Justin, you will be happier now that you do, if not more noble....
