My Take
Chris Henchy is exactly the sort of behind-the-scenes mind I gravitate toward. A New Yorker born in 1964, he has worn nearly every hat in the business, but his real signature is his long creative partnership with Will Ferrell. Co-founding Funny or Die and writing films like The Other Guys and The Campaign means he helped shape a whole strain of absurdist American comedy that looks easy but rarely is. I have always believed writing genuinely funny material is harder than most dramatic work, and Henchy has done it consistently. The unsung architect of laughs deserves more credit than he gets.
