Stephen Merchant | 6 foot 7 and Co-created The Office | Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out Podcast

This week living legend and giant human Stephen Merchant joins Mike for an all time great episode of Working It Out. Stephen and Mike talk about actionable advice for creatives starting out, the behind-the-scenes politics of co-creating “The Office,” “Extras” with Ricky Gervais, and how Stephen could turn his story about interviewing a pornstar into standup. Plus, the time Stephen walked through a glass door at Sarah Silverman’s Hollywood party.
