#VISIONARIES ✨ Liz Meriwether opens up about the emotional power of writing comedy that lives inside tragedy — and how becoming a showrunner at 29 meant learning on the job. In conversation with John Hoffman, the #DyingForSex creator reflects on finding catharsis through tone, behavior, and the beautiful absurdity of the writers' room.

“It feels like a different kind of thing when you're laughing in the middle of sadness… it's like catharsis,” Meriwether says. “To be able to pull out a laugh out of real tragedy is like—great.”
