A creative partnership
built on the Tonight Show floor.

In 2001, Kevin Smith started appearing on The Tonight Show for a recurring segment — Roadside Attractions and other bits. Andy was the writer and producer on the other side of the camera. Fifty-six episodes later, those segments ended up on the DVD of Jersey Girl. That’s where it started.

Twenty-four years, every format: late-night television, feature films, podcasting, and now a new network pilot in development. The partnership is still going because the creative chemistry hasn’t changed since that first bit on the Tonight Show floor in 2001.

Ghostwriting and narrative nonfiction.
The same skill that drives thirty years of television — finding the story inside the material, building the narrative, making it land. Confidential. Collaborative. Results in a book people actually read.
