Mike Schur on how his 'SNL' pals tried to talk him out of joining 'The Office' and the status of the one that got away: A 'Field of Dreams' remake.
As for “Hacks,” creators Jen Statsky, Paul W. Downs and Lucia Aniello approached Schur with the idea and a very complete pitch “with the exception of me offering a couple of jokes and storyline moves in the margins,” he says. Meanwhile, “A Man on the Inside” has been Schur’s most recent labor of love; he wrote, directed and exec produced that series after his production partner Morgan Sackett suggested adapting Maite Alberdi’s documentary “The Mole Agent” into a show. It’s the first Netflix series for Schur, but chief content creator Bela Bajaria recalls hearing his “heartfelt, hilarious and instantly memorable” ideas for “The Good Place” and “Brookyln Nine-Nine” over the years.
