The most rewarding part of writing for TV is - a year ago I would have said it's just watching it on TV, it's just having been done with it and then collecting all that energy.
Dan Harmon
Always hedge your bets. That's how I do it. I lay all my bets on what I can contribute, and suffer no illusions that I'm generating stuff by myself.
Dan Harmon
I love 30 Rock. It's one of my favorite shows. It's certainly the gold standard of comedy writing.
Dan Harmon
If somebody's cat happens to turn on the TV, my numbers can double. It's almost unrelated to what's really happening.
Dan Harmon
Technology changes the medium. I grew up on watching a box in my living room that made my parents happy. After something is gone, the dust will settle and I'll see what's next.

Dan Harmon
Everything I do, in the middle of it, I lose all objectivity. The business of comedy is kind of ridiculous in that respect. Your job is to have a lot of fun in a jar, then sell it. There's something inherently illogical and impossible about that, but that being said, this is as good as it gets.
Dan Harmon
You don’t give someone notes on their performance at a soup kitchen.
Dan Harmon
I was raised on NBC television.
Dan Harmon
I think thoughts in my head bounce around in my skull and, if they keep bouncing around in my skull, they get worse and worse. When they come out of my mouth, they make people happy.
Dan Harmon
There's a fine line between a stream of consciousness and a babbling brook to nowhere.
Dan Harmon
I grew up on network sitcoms. If those are gone when I'm 65 years old, I would never forgive myself for not stepping up to that plate, as often as possible. I'm already bummed out that DVDs are dying off because, in my 20s, those were a huge thing.
Dan Harmon
I was playing the game where I was going to be a great TV or film writer some day and there was nothing else that I thought about, including other people.
Dan Harmon
Everyone knows that there are more people watching any given show than is being registered by the Nielsen system.
Dan Harmon
With media, it's never bad-to-good. It's always just moving from different to different. Faster, more stuff, but there's always good, more good, and more bad.
