My Take
You may not know the name Chuck Lorre, but somewhere right now someone is watching something he built. The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Young Sheldon, Dharma and Greg, The Kominsky Method, the title King of Sitcoms is more than earned. What I love is the detail that he started as a composer in Bethpage, New York, because it explains the musical rhythm and tempo of his dialogue, the way the jokes land on the beat. He is practically a comedy factory, but my real respect is for the stamina, decades on the front line of making people laugh. That kind of longevity simply cannot be faked.
