Every episode of After Hours is meticulously scripted (I’d say each episode features maybe 14 total seconds of improvisation). When someone is credited as “[X person]’s Brain,” we’re referring to the illustrator that created the specific images for every character (my brain is Anthony “Nedroid” Clark, Michael’s is Winston Rowntree, Soren’s is Matt Barrs and Wilbert’s is Starline Hodge).
While there is some level of actual back-and-forth, real-time bickering in the brainstorm phase of After Hours, the scripts are all written out by (so far) either me, Jack, Soren, Michael, Cody, Robert Brockway or Kristi Harrison. Once upon a time we tried to shoot an After Hours that was a legitimate off-the-cuff conversation among friends and we ended up talking on top of each other and just coming off like a bunch of what I think Michael described as “yammering nutbags.”
