My Take
Paul Scheer is my favorite kind of comedy professional: the utility player who quietly makes everything better. He co-created Human Giant, stole scenes on The League and Veep, and built one of podcasting's most durable franchises by lovingly dissecting terrible movies. What I respect is the breadth of his involvement—performer, writer, producer—because that range signals genuine curiosity about how comedy works rather than hunger for the spotlight. There is no diva energy in his career, just consistent output and obvious affection for the craft. In an industry obsessed with stars, Scheer proves the connective tissue matters just as much, and I will always champion that.
