and i would write down everything that they said. and all of them were like, you re gonna be okay. - yeah. yeah. - like, you re gonna be okay. and so one of those showrunners was kind enough to give me my first job. that was quintuplets. that was my first wga job. and on that show, i met carter bays and craig thomas, who created how i met your mother. - after years of hustling and writing for non-latin shows, the job of showrunner, or the boss, still eluded her. that s because latino writers are barely considered for these jobs. in fact, as of 2022, only 1.5% of television showrunners were latinx. now, if we re nearly 20% of the population and the largest minority ethnic group in america, how can these numbers be a thing? - things changed in 2016 when norman lear wanted to meet with me. - yeah, yeah. - i went to the meeting cause i just wanted to meet norman lear. i had no intention - who doesn t wanna meet this legend? legendary producer norman lear created the original one
and for a long time, you know, i felt worried that he was gonna be able to do everything as i would ve done it. and i don t have that fear anymore. - love you. - love you too. (birds chirping) - [shane] so the last time you had a liver biopsy it was really rough on you. do i need to help you get to that appointment? - i should be okay to just go get labs drawn. - maybe we not try and be marine on this one and let s just- - do you wanna be off work another day? - who doesn t wanna be off work? i have been paralyzed throughout this journey before and felt like i couldn t act, i couldn t do anything, i couldn t think of myself at all. 2019 was a scarcity mentality. it was what am i losing, when am i losing it, and being so anxious and worried that it was all consuming.
to give me my first job. that was quintuplets. that was my first wga job. and on that show, i met carter bays and craig thomas, who created how i met your mother. - after years of hustling and writing for non-latin shows, the job of showrunner, or the boss, still eluded her. that s because latino writers are barely considered for these jobs. in fact, as of 2022, only 1.5% of television showrunners were latinx. now, if we re nearly 20% of the population and the largest minority ethnic group in america, how can these numbers be a thing? - things changed in 2016 when norman lear wanted to meet with me. - yeah, yeah. - i went to the meeting cause i just wanted to meet norman lear. i had no intention - who doesn t wanna meet this legend? legendary producer norman lear created the original one day at a time in 1975, and in 2017, he asked gloria to reboot the sitcom but now, with a latin twist. - he said, well, we re thinking about doing a latino version. i was like, i don t know,
meet and greet tell people you know. here i am. i m running. i m serious about it. and to tell those donors who are getting a little antsy because his numbers have been going up in the polls. tell those donors. you know what? i m here and i m gonna win this thing. it s notable that since trump s indictment of the polls have only been moving in one direction for trump, so the other question about desantis. he just signed a six week abortion ban in florida, yet another front in the culture wars. i ve not seen trump say anything about that. well look, trump happens to disagree with his base on this issue. he has said that the party is going to for far out on the anti abortion issue. he doesn t want to go there right now. and so he s going to leave it until he gets into a debate, perhaps with desantis, but he doesn t want trump. doesn t want to do alienate doesn t wanna do anything to alienate the base either. so you know they re all playing this game where they re walking a fine line here
who doesn t wanna end with this? the old fishing hole, quality bourbon, no need for shoes. i think the crab is just having a minnow buffet. in such circumstances whether you actually catch any fish is completely beside the point. come on man, not bad for a yankee. looking good man, that was better than my last cast. making noise with the alligator boys 20 miles east of gauttier.
