Howdy

Mr. Met owns New York. The Phanatic and Gritty roam the rust belt, bringing joy (and confusion) to the great folks of Pennsylvania. In more recent vintage, Last Week Tonight has taken up the torch of mascot mastery with the likes of Chi John, Mr. Nutterbutter, and Hoots the Owl. Mac has large foam shoes to fill, and I intend to stop at nothing to secure his place in the pantheon of pop culture mascots.

I genuinely love using mascots in comedy. This creative brief is straight down the plate for me—doc-style comedy, absurdity, mascots, and food—all my favorite stuff in one shoot. Thank you sincerely for that. I meant what I said on our call. This is one of the most well-thought-out character studies I’ve received for such an absurd bit. I’m thoroughly enamored and desperately want to join the team that brings Mac to life.
