When Greg Daniels wants to be friends with you, he won’t invite you to grab a drink at a local bar. He’ll ask you if you want to write comedy.

“It’s kind of like my invitation to play tennis or hang out,” he says. “I’ve worked with some really amazing collaborators, and I’ve sought them out. It’s been the highlight of my social life.”

Early in his career, that meant approaching Larry David and pitching a ton of ideas for “Seinfeld,” one of which became the Season 3 episode “The Parking Space.”
